Some people have concerns about trojans.   Unlike prime95 (and the 
derivitives), this distributed project will require downloading binaries and 
executing them.   If someone fakes out the clients, this could be a tool for 
a MASSIVE DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack.   Be -VERY- afraid.   
This may be paranoia, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
