Re: [H] Free Screensavers

[Steve Tomporowski]

Thanks for the reply.  It is ironic that if you get pirated 
screensavers, the pirates remove the junkware.  Basically all you can do 
is go from site to site and see what each one tries to install.  Not 
really worth the free software!

My friend's wife is looking for a 'cute' screensaver and luckily she
emails me first before she downloads.  I have never seen so much crap
bundled with free software in my life.  When I go for freeware, I go to
Gizmo, however, I never realized how bad the rest of the net is.  I
downloaded a screensaver from CNET and from one download, I got
Whitesmoke, Conduit and Strongvault.  That doesn't count the stuff I
unclicked.

Well, the real question is, is there a safe place I can send her to look
at screensavers, one that will give her a screensaver and not a ton of
unwanted junk?  Gizmo really doesn't do screensavers and right now I'm
not going to send her to CNET.

Thanks...Steve

Hey Jim, or anybody else. Is anyone out there? I have sent two messages today 
and the copies have not come back to me.

Nice bike, Jim, also, looks like you've got all the power you need, for 
anything :)  I think others of us in this group have been exposed to 
similar situations and can totally relate to you. I have, for one. Another old 
pilot buddy, while I was going through it said "your six is clear, just turn 
your nose to the horizon and enjoy the sunrise".

It's a mind, body and soul project. Not trying to become a hippy but happy and 
healthy. And I'm doing it.

So how you guys doing?

I found this site:

http://www.freesaver.com/index.htm

I've downloaded and installed two screensavers and haven't gotten any 
junkware.  So it looks pretty good.
