Sevenstring.org World Community Grid Team
I've been running this client for a very long time, and have just reregistered to start up a team for sevenstring.org.
To sign up and download the client: World Community Grid - Home For the full scoop on what installing this will do, click here: World Community Grid - Research In a nutshell, it donates your idle CPU time to helping find a cure for HIV and MD, as well as the development of better vaccines.  Quote:
When you use your computer, you rarely use more than 10% of your computers computing power. By using a free Grid computing software, you can take the remaining 90% and donate it to research. The grid computing software only uses idle CPU cycles and when your computer needs more processor cycles, the software automatically turns those resources back over to the program you are using. It starts automatically when you open your computer and runs quietly in the background. You just download the software, install it and forget it. That's it. Will this effect my computer's performance? No. The agent automatically throttles back when your programs call for resources. It only uses IDLE cpu time. It's not bad for your hardware, won't effect running programs and won't slow anyting down. It just runs in the background. To join the Sevenstring.org WCG team: When you sign up, you'll download the client and install it. Once installed, minimize it and forget about it. Then go to the My Team -> Find a Team, and put Sevenstring.org in the search. Then join, and you'll be added to the member's list. Your CPU time donated will count towards Sevenstring.org's total team time, and all of that CPU time goes towards finding cures and developing vaccines. Join up!

I'm not sure if it supports SMB, doesn't appear to, but I didn't dig around much.
I plan on installing this all over hell at work too.  |
