I was pretty much new to this as well- mostly Ubuntu works wonders - but this particular screen-saver killed my computer, needing many reboots. I think now they have removed it (it wasn't great by the way). If you have it on the system - just remove it. I have a link somewhere which I will forward on - abit too busy tonight - but I hope this helps!
