Don't these programs burn out your processor faster?

Good question, I suppose it's not the best idea to run a processor all the time. Hm.

Yeah, screw the world, I'm savin' my frickin' processor! (Which most of us replace every 3 years anyway.)

Note: If the choice comes down to leaving your computer on running these "feel good" programs or turning them off to save energy, turn them off. It's like lottery odds.
