I read it already !!

Doesn't seem like you have, as it lists the site to download it from (which is currently down, but that's not my problem)

I installed it but when I open "Display" it stops responding. 🙁

Beliefs are what divide people. Doubt unites them.

Try using the console version (and not the graphical version)

😉 I'm up and running with Folding@Home (at least I think I am...)

Come join the folding team!

Does anybody know how it's supposed to work? 😕

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

What do you mean?

How do our CPU's resources help their computers?

Your own computer isn't directly helping their computers. Instead, your computer will be running tasks (simulating the folding of proteins) that their system dictates. Your machine will run something different than the next machine. All machines together run in parallel, thus lots of work is output

So they're sending info to my computer, not commands?

Both

Isn't that kinda risky?

Just as much as the online games you play or the web browser you use. For instance, this site (and many others) send JavaScript commands to run on your computer. Info is sent in the form of web pages.

The only way to be risk-free on the Internet is to not be on the Internet at all

I accept that as a fact, the internet is risky 🙂
That's what I wanted to know: the commands it sends are the same as those which are usually sent to the computer when we surf the net, right?

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

These are just specialized commands to the Folding@Home program that include the instructions on how to fold a specific protein. And then after your computer finishes simulating that protein, it'll send the results over to the F@H servers
