SETIspy is a small-footprint bolt-on that: 
logs your WUs, 
shows you what you have found in each WU (until you send it in),
shows how your hardware compares to similar set-ups,
shows your user ranking,
shows a skymap of your present WU,
shows time to WU completion,
et c.
et c.
SETIspy does a lot, for little disk space; you'd need half a dozen other
bolt-ons to provide as much information to you.
	V 3.08 is the latest that I have.
You can listen to a WU using the WU2wav program.  
Distant Suns V.S@h) is a complete planetarium.  
There are cache programs to keep you going if the S@h server is down for
upgrades.  
All found on:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/links_addons.html
	The graphical client software itself does what you want for analysis;
somebody else here might have the screen-capture utility to snapshot the
"interesting" results along the way for you.  The graphical client is a bit
slower than the CLI (numbers only) version, though.
	Read the S@h website, and they tell you about giving credit to the
finder.  We are all volunteers here, so they'd be foolish to piss anybody
off.  If you have a log file of your WUs, such as several bolt-ons can
provide (not just SETIspy), you could easily check if the "find" is in or
near any of your WUs.  If the RA, Dec, and times match, man, you own it. 
Some parts of the sky *are* scanned more than once, but maybe months apart.

Thanks red, your help was very usful and also got me to lookup SETIspy. I
didnt have much time to read it but its sounds a bit dodgey, Whats good
about it anyway? I have SETI version 3.08 and was told it was the lastest
but while i scan reading quickly i seen 3.11

Is 3.11 the new version?

Is there any programs out there that could decrypt the data SETI@home
recieves so that I (the user) could view personally if the results indicate
ET's?

I dont like the idea of me finding a result and then some scientist in a
white coat grab it off me and say he/she found it.

Thanks again,
