There are plenty of screensaver downloads, the problem is they are often packed with everything from spyware to virus and trojans. My advice is to stay away from them.

If you do find one you might want to check it out real good. Run the file through www.virustotal.com before installing it.

This is not only about malwares. Number of them are causing problems, because of poorly written script, which is not fully compatible with Windows.
smitty10492...If you are a programmer, and you can check the script, go ahead, and download them.
