Folding Forum

Whatever I do using app cleaner for Mac or going to system library & deleting from here it continued to show in activity monitor it was using something like 240% of cpu capacity ~~(not sure why it should show like that but). There were no clear links how to uninstall for Mac despite site saying link is at bottom of page.
It would seem after shutting down computer after re installing to see if there was something in the program to uninstall nada so I ran disk utility first aid and moments later cpu activity went back to normal.
In conclusion I am not certain this software is particularly Mac friendly much as I would like to help by running program I am not happy with the way it seems to hog the cpu so I have deleted all traces of it.

Folding@home puts the client executable in an unusual location (unusual for a Mac, anyway) that some Mac cleaner programs might not think to check. You should use the uninstaller that comes with the program - try reinstalling Folding@home & then running the uninstall program in /Applications/Folding@home. That will do a better job of cleaning out the program.

As for showing usage above 100%, that is just the way Activity Monitor display processes the use more than one CPU core. So if you have 4 cores, using all of them would show 400%.
