    question Fahcore_78.exe in task manager

    Hi guys
    This is my first thread in this forum so forgive me if I posted the wrong place.

    I have a question about this Fahcore_78.exe program that's running in the background on my XP. From what I can understand from other sites on the internet; it's some kind of program that uses my spare CPU power for some kind of super computer at Stanford and I'm having a small problem believing that... but it sounded sincere enough.

    The thing that bothers me most about this program is that I have 4 (yes four) Fahcore_78.exe going on in my task manager. Also there are equal many FAH.EXE programs running at the same time.
    Each Fahcore_78.exe program are using over 121,000 mb memory.

    What do you guys know about this? Also I think my computer started to make more noise after this program came into my system. It's like it's working really hard. Also each time I enter the task manager to look at my CPU usage it tells me 100%. I can't believe my eyes but I can play my normal games fine with no problems.

    Please help me with this issue. Thank you

    Remove FAH502-Console.exe .Directory (FAH) is in the User folder of Vista you need to check for xp created and run the client after downloading on the properties window, then the privilege level of compatibility to "Run as administrator" as amended and installed in the directory Fah. Then copy the contents of the old list in FAH and to overwrite always voted no.

    Its a file related to Folding@Home. There may be multiple process running. Shut it down from task manager. Hope this helps...
