With very rare exception, BOINC will not interfere with any other programs running on your PC. BOINC projects play nice with other programs that you run. BOINC runs the science applications at the lowest priority, so that the science application only runs when the CPU is otherwise idle. When another program asks for CPU time, the BOINC projects simply move out of the way and allow the other programs to take whatever resources they requests.
You can also configure BOINC so that it only runs if the system is idle for a user defined period of time. For example, you can tell BOINC to run your project only if the computer is idle for 3 minutes.
Additionally, you can also configure BOINC to run projects only during a range of hours. For example, you can configure BOINC to run project only between the hours of 5PM and 8AM.
