Default Help fight Disease!

What is Folding@Home? Basically, it's a 'Shared Distributed Computing Project', meaning that it breaks up massive amounts of information into smaller bits, sends them out to millions of PCs around the world which, when they are idle, analyse the data and send it back.

From Folding@Home's site: "Our goal: to understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases."

NZB has formed a Team to help in this fight, if you would like to join in, go to http://folding.stanford.edu/ and download and install the program.
