Three to four weeks ago I read an article which was talking about the project Folding@Home which helps researchers find a cure for the CoVid-19.
Since then my Mac has been pretty noisy, although the idea was to run the software when I was not working on my Mac. Today I noticed that despite not having so much running on the Mac it is noisy and also kind of hot underneath.
In the iStat, i found out that the FAHclient was taking the most of the CPU power (even when not running it). I uninstalled the software and its client is still running in the background.
I also terminated the process related to it in the terminal:
ps aux | grep fah
kill the pid
How can I uninstall it completely as it's not letting me concentrate since a while.

If you don't deselect the Uninstaller in the installer app, the Folding@home folder also contains an uninstaller.pkg:
If the Uninstall Folding@home.pkg is missing in your environment simply download the installer and install Folding@Home again. Then use the pkg to uninstall everything properly.
