If you decide to participate and since you have 4 cores, you don't need
even pause it, the default profile takes only 60% CPU time (you can
change that editing the profile or creating another) from each core and
each of the four WUs(Work Units) run on third plane (lowest CPU
priority), so anything you do, even rendering, is ran first and foremost.

Glad to read that and you'll not regret the site is as legit as it can
get, has plenty of info a nice Forum community, statistics, the WCG
client gives total control and offer lots of details or just a simple view.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I have been there many times, that's why now
I make sure what I get into isn't a hoax. The Internet is a good place
to be scammed.

Your questions and doubts are fine, I had them myself, what made them
look paranoid was asking them here without checking the website first,
like you were scared of even go there, hence my confusion, I apologize
for it.
