Removing F@H?

It depends which client you're running. If it's Win SMP, you can just stop the client, copy the folder across, run install.bat then re-start the client. You won't need to re-run fah.exe with the configonly flag if you keep the path the same. It's much the same but without the install.bat for the console client but you'll also need to delete the service from the registry and you will need to use configonly on the new PC to re-create the service.

For SMP client(s), uninstall via 'add/remove programs' in the control panel. For console client(s), simply delete the directory the files are in.
For GUI client(s), uninstall via the uninstall feature found under the Folding@home tab in the start menu.
Before uninstalling remember to run the client with the -oneunit flag to prevent it downloading another WU, this will save wasting a WU. In case you don't know how to do this, stop the client, find the Fah executable, right click it and click 'create shortcut'. Right click the new shortcut and click properties. In the box named 'target', add ' -oneunit' (note the space) at the end of the path (keep it inside the quotation marks). Restart the client from the new shortcut and the client will run with the oneunit flag and will finish it's current WU and stop - then you can uninstall.
If the client is set to run as a service, follow the steps for the oneunit flag but substitute the ' -oneunit' flag with ' -configonly'. This will run the configuration script and the first question it will ask you is if you want to uninstall the service - you would answer yes. After that, just leave everything else as it is and run through the configuration until it finishes.
If you need any more help, just ask

Must be some threads running. Either kill it by stopping the service or killing the threads in TaskMan. That should allow you to get rid of it.
