I have the problem to delete a host that i don't want in my computers list. I read that this is normal when this computer has downloaded work. But this computer hasn't ! The summary says: Number of times client has contacted server: 0 ! :S

If you scroll to the bottom and press the link "delete this host", what message does it give?

It says "Error: Existing results". But that is something only the database knows - the project-directory on my harddisk is empty. The PC should never participate on SETI and now it is in my statistics forever :(

Yep, that means it was given at least 1 work unit - probably when it first registered. It could have sent the work unit back (after that it would be deleted from your harddisk) or if you detached that computer from seti it would also delete the work unit then.

But even if it's detached now, it will still stay in your list since it did get at least one work unit before.
