also new ... just started folding (and posting on these forums hehe)
You guys sure this isnt bad for your comp? I hear more noise coming from my comp, meaning the fan has to work harder to keep the cpu cool.

I'm going to put the permission letter here, but I think it should be on the first post.
Dear (Recipient’s Name Here)
I am writing on behalf of the members of the Folding@Home community in regards to obtaining permission to run the Folding@Home client on school computers.
The Folding@Home project is a project that uses spare processor cycles and uses them to calculate and track how a protein would fold/misfold/aggregate. The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. The folding client (the program that does the work) only takes up the spare cpu cycles that are currently not in use. Think of a cycle as an glass of water. When you just browse the internet, you only drink 1/20 of the glass, and the rest is unused.... The folding client "drinks" the other bits of water. Say when you want to browse the internet, or open something, the client lets the other programs take as much as they need. This in no way spies on your activities. The only log that it outputs is so you would be able to track what is going on while it works. (and it also has times in it ((GMT))). Studies have been shown that Folding@Home does not impact the performance of the computers, and add it only needs internet access to receive work packets and to send results.
If security is an issue with your decision on allowing the client to be installed, the F@H client is quite safe. It uses a digital signature that is verified with each download of a new work unit. The signature is a very way safe of verification and uses todays technologies to insure that no bogus files have been downloaded that may attack/affect your system. The Folding@Home project does not cost anything to you. Aside from the fact that you can form your own team to compete against others in friendly competition, you do not gain anything from this, but science does and you may feel good for helping your fellow man/woman. All in all, the client is free, and runs free of any spyware(spying programs). All of the community and I wish that you would think about allowing this client to be installed on the computers you will allow. However many are allowed, we greatly thank you for your contribution.
