folding at home is sucking up my cpu

[mopinko]

i keep trying to just get rid of it. i thrown it in the trash and it rises from the dead. if i go to the activity monitor and force quit, i can empty the trash. otherwise it tells me it can't empty it because it is in use. at any rate, seconds later, it is beck where it was. help.

1. Problem removing Folding@Home

... there should be an uninstall script in /usr/local/fah which will remove everything except ~/Library/Folding@home/ ... /usr/local/fah/uninstall.sh ...

To completely uninstall, you want to delete these 4 things...
/usr/local/fah/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/[e-mail]

~/Library/Folding@home/ ...

2. did all that. it rises from the grave.

i quit the think in that activity monitor, throw all the files in the trash, empty the trash, and they pop right back up.

3. dunno. is it a start-up item for your account? can you remove it there

and reboot without it starting? are there any options for you to configure when it runs? can you learn anything useful by launching the console and reading logs?
