2 Years ago WCG used another client called 'United Devices' now use 
BOINC, it is much better and it has more configuration possibilities 
when you're installing it, you can even run in on the background as a 
service. The WCG have now a forum that has a support section with many 
useful threads and active moderators  and other volunteer users that 
will help you within a few hours of posting. Also now we have badges, 
given according to the CPU/GPU time you have donated to research, just 
make sure you login with your old account info.

  You can download it at WCG (www.worldcommunitygrid.org) or at Berkeley 
University (boinc.berkeley.edu).

I recommend you to give it another try, by default you'll only be 
donating 60% of every CPU core (I don't know the percentage for GPUs) 
you can change this later if you want, you have full control over that 
and other features, I personally set it at 99% to assure responsivity, 
if you have a Quad Core you can set it at 100%.

Good luck and thank you for caring and doing something about it.

Regards.
