Well, its a bit of a cryptic name if you don't know what its about There is a program called "find-a-drug" that harnesses the spare power on peoples computer to find cures for things like cancer. It targets certain strains with various combatants by making a super computer out of thousands of users home PCs. It doesn't slow PCs down at all, as it uses spare power when you aren't doing much.

There is a little bit more info here: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-2143806.php

We have a competition on too, so everyone that joins is entered to win a PC game of their choice if you are interested
