Recently it started damaging my wife's data on her computer (just hard-reboot your computer as if it was frozen 5 times a day for a month. I'm confident that you'll lose some data at some point). I'm glad I shut it off before it damaged the hardware. It is harmful. It is 100% crap. OK, maybe 99.999%, since it works for you guys. I am all for bleeding edge. But CA is so immature that it doesn't have a circulatory system yet. Thus it cannot bleed.
