Folding...Resources hog, Privacy issues?

Just found out about F@H via our forums which are great BTW.

I have some immediate questions / concerns before I get involved though. I have tried to find this information out on the internet but no luck.

I hate to sound conspiracy theoryish, but in this day and age I like to know what programs and who I'm giving access to my computer resources/systems/files.

Questions / Concerns

1. My current rig is 8 years, old up to date virus/spyware/malware(new rig in process), would it even be able to help and still play online games?

2. When sending and receiving data with this F@H project are there any risks with privacy issues? ie...who you are/hardware/software/files etc...and before you wonder, no porn on PC.

3. Thinking of pausing on my new rig build to build a stand alone F@H dedicated rig to run 24-7.

4. Hate to sound like the anal retentive / materialistic weasel, but if were sharing our resources and your computer is the one that discovers a cure, do you get a share in the proceeds that will no-doubt follow that cure? I'm sure I'll probably get flammed for this one
 
Simple answers....

Question 1. Probaply not. Or minimal at best.

Question 2. No.

Question 3. That would be nice!

Question 4. No.
 
Hmmmmm I dont think an 8 year old rig is going to be that helpful to be honest.

If you build another one though that would be sweeeeeeeeeet!
