Lifted from the SETI@home homepage:
SETI@home is a scientific experiment that will harness the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

You can join my team, The Weasels for Extraterrestrial Domination (aka “team 4625”)! Join the team here. If you’re not a part of SETI@home yet, the first step is to download the correct client, then install it. What does it entail? SETI@home runs as a screensaver, so you won’t notice it while you’re working.
