Is there any useful "botnet"?

Question

Distributed Computing

There is a fairly powerful PC that works about 20 hours a day, and sometimes 24. I would like to somehow use its power for the benefit of society. Are there any scientific services whose client can be installed on a PC (Win / * nix - it doesn’t matter), thereby giving excess power to this service? For example, any mathematical calculations?
PC specs:
AMD FX-8150 (8 cores, overclocked to 3.5GHz), 8GB RAM (I'll add the same next week), 2TB HDD SATA3, network 20Mbit down / 40Mbit up (up to 100 at night).

By the way, I’m wondering, huge capacities are idle on a huge pile of enterprises across the country. Why not use them for a good cause?
