The entire internet is a shared computing model, really. And if we run out of resource, we'll make more. Yay capitalism.

As to security, I would think that something like this would require that you tinker with your firewall or reduce the security setting on your virus protection, which i'm not comfortable with. The person I got the link from suggested to our company that, since we don't power down our desktops at night, we corporately decide to contribute to this project. I don't see it happening...
