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.

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.

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...

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?

Meh.

 

I found alien signals ages ago from that site and even discovered their plans to conquer Earth and enslave humanity.

 

I just couldn't be bothered telling anyone. :lol:
