APW 0 Posted July 11, 2005 I would...it sounds fun.... But is allowing SETI to use your PC safe?I don't know much about the security issues....if something happens to my PC,I can't replace it. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted July 12, 2005 Totally Safe. I've used it before, but i had to remove it cause i had no disc space left, and my friend has it. Our computers are totally fine. Its got no spyware,adware, or viruses. All it does, is download files (only when u specify) from Berkley's website, and then it scans them ( as they are radio signals) for alien messages or wut not, then, when you specify, it sends your results back to the people at Berkeley. It does not collect info on u, it does not harm your computer. It is safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APW 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Okay.Thanks for informing me. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted July 12, 2005 Have never had any problems with this piece of programming, they are basically scanning for specific radio waves given off by certain gases. it runs in the background, and basically you wilnever know it is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted July 18, 2005 Wierd... Hey, do you know where i can get the original seti? I hate the new one.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted July 18, 2005 not sure... the old one is supposed to be terminated in a few months. I hope not. I might have to stop SETI and use the google one that's similar. It's a shame... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted July 18, 2005 the google one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tal 0 Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) So do you only get Credit if you use the new seti? If so then i have been losing loads of credit. Oh and what do you actually use it for? Credit I mean. And im using version 3.8 so will i need to upgrade to get Credit? Edited July 18, 2005 by Tal Shiar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted July 18, 2005 the google one? 340972[/snapback] they have something similar. It's like a protein sequencer thing.... Yeah credit to the new SETI only :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
