How would you like to volunteer your desktop to helping the field of medicine? The World Community Grid is free software that utilizes unused CPU from your computer to calculate and measure medical related problems. The beauty of this program is that it only utilizes your unused CPU, which can often times be quite significant. Check your CPU usage in Windows XP by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete and selecting the Performance tab. Then simply check your CPU Usage. You will notice that your CPU usage is most likely less than 10%, and probably even lower if you’re only browsing the internet. Now, you can help find a cure without changing your current behavior or spending any money.

I do not recommend running this program on laptops/notebooks because prolong CPU usage will have adverse affects on battery life. However, all computer connected with AC power will work without problems. To download this free program, direct your browser to http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/, become a member, and begin contributing back to society. Once installed, I recommend setting the program to only run when your screensaver runs (to ensure that the program only uses CPU while you are away). To that, simply open the program from your taskbar (icons by the clock in the bottom right). Hit the Preference button (the checkbox icon), and check the box labeled Run only as Screen Saver. To save this change, hit the apply button. Installation is complete! Now if you want, encourage your friends and family to join this free program and explain to them the good cause it serves!
