Last month we shared how you can donate spare processing power to the Folding@Home project to help beat COVID-19. Since then several scammers have exploited the popularity of this computing project hiding malware in the scripts, but Microsoft is now out with a solution.

The Windows maker has released a PowerShell script that allows you to securely contribute your unused processing power to Folding@Home distributed computing disease research project. While users were already contributing to this project using their Windows, macOS, and Linux machines, Microsoft says Windows 10 users can now use the safety of Windows Sandbox to stay secure while donating their system's excess power to the project.
