Dunno, i dont trust VAC at all, whats man made, can and will make mistakes. And i dont know how folding acts as a program/client, if it has a hook of any kind i generally steer clear. If it doesnt interact with anything but itself. Then its all whatevs.

You could just stop folding while playing games and resume once you're out of the game, I suppose

I've accidently left F@H at full priority while gaming before, BF3 would crash my system within several minutes it seemed, minecraft would not but would hang slightly every few minutes, and TW3 was an instacrash... a bit disappointing to fire up a game and then be hard-restarting a few seconds later haha.
