Yes. Move the SETI@home icon out of the System Folder : Control Panels folder, to another location (such as the desktop), and restart your Macintosh. You can run SETI@home as a stand-alone application whenever you wish. But if you have another screensaver installed, SETI@home will run very slowly when the other screensaver is active, and the other screensavers animation may be sluggish or jerky.
