Is it safe to run Veronika's Experimental Grid?
Any time you download a program through the Internet you are taking a chance: the program might have dangerous errors, or the download server might have been hacked. Veronika's Experimental Grid has made efforts to minimize these risks. We have tested our applications carefully. Our servers are behind a firewall and are configured for high security. To ensure the integrity of program downloads, all executable files are digitally signed on a secure computer not connected to the Internet.
The applications run by Veronika's Experimental Grid may cause some computers to overheat. If this happens, stop running Veronika's Experimental Grid or use a utility program that limits CPU usage.
Veronika's Experimental Grid was developed by Veronika Kerman. BOINC was developed at the University of California.
Liability
Veronika's Experimental Grid and Veronika Kerman assume no liability for damage to your computer, loss of data, or any other event or condition that may occur as a result of participating in Veronika's Experimental Grid.
Other BOINC projects
Other projects use the same platform, BOINC, as Veronika's Experimental Grid. You may want to consider participating in one or more of these projects. By doing so, your computer will do useful work even when Veronika's Experimental Grid has no work available for it.
These other projects are not associated with Veronika's Experimental Grid, and we cannot vouch for their security practices or the nature of their research. Join them at your own risk.
