It is a legit program. I've had it running for about 3 months now on
my wifes machine. For some reason Seti kept crashing on her machine so

Sounds like she needs a better heatsink and fan on her CPU; about the
only way SETI@home can crash a system is by overheating the CPU.

No it isn't warm. It is a Gateway and she has had it for awhile,
loaded and unloaded many many programs and I think it needs replacing
but she says it works fine.

I found another distrubuted net program.Right now the program is
ananlyzing a cancer research project, phase II. The smallpox was for,
if I remember correctly,  the military. You do not get to chose who
the research is for. It is thru United Devices and at least her
computer is doing something 24/7. I would MUCH rather have it doing
Seti, of course, but.....

You do realize that United Devices is a for-profit company, who will
sell the products of the work you're doing and pocket the money, and
is also who sued Berkely over the BOINC code, delaying that activity?

No I did not, it will be removed tommorrow!

They want my CPU cycles, they can pay for them.

Agreed!
