It's definitely not a virus. However, some people may have problems with the program - all programs can cause problems. Sometimes I disable it myself since I suspect it causes certain programs to be slightly less stable which can crash my rather shaky computer.

It is not any type of virus. So far there have been almost 500,000 individual contributors.
Did he say why he believes it is a virus? Did his anti-virus program incorrectly identify it?
It's considerably less destabilizing to a PC than Civ4 is; it sounds like he doesn't know what a virus actually is.
On an unrelated note, what happened to Speedo?

I seem to remember from the Folding@Home Forum that there were some reports that some Antivirus software incorrectly identified it as a virus. This was from quite a while ago though, so unless it's old antivirus software he's running it should be OK.

If your running F@H while running large applications, of course they (large applications) wont work.

I can run large applications all right with F@H running. Even Eclipse works with no more problems than usual and my computer is not anywhere near top of the line.azzaman333 said:

It will run with either Civ3 or Civ4 for me, but I tend to stop it anyway as it doesn't get any processing done and I don't want to risk Civ crashing and as a result corrupting the folding so that it restarts.

It depends on the program i guess. i had problems with it constantly minimizing a game, and also had a problem where it completely disappeared from the task bar when it was still running. I had restart my computer to fix that, since every time i tried to end the process in Task Manager, it kept coming back.

for you. j/kMy little 'its a virus' friend has said that it isnt a virus now but that it when its running it wont allow large applications to load so i just told him that he could run it when hes doing little things and then turn it off for big things.

Bow to your king.
Just joined the team, and I have a question. Roughly how long will it take to finish a WU?

anywhere from 10 hours to 4 days. depends on the size of the WU and the power of your computer.
