Something has gone wrong somewhere...I just need to know where & how to fix it.

It's something that was kept from the days before WCG started using BOINC. At that time the UD Agent counted in points. The full explanation can be found on the WCG forums, though, in one of their FAQ threads. ID: 23896 ·
