Could anyone recommend where i could get good, free and safe screensavers. (I heard that many of the screensaver you can download CAN/MAY contain viruses and/or screw you system) I am looking for some cool ones, for example the tunnel ones you see on Linux. If anyone could recommend any, I would appreciate it. Scroll all the way down to 'Screensavers'. These are all Open Source Softwares, very safe. (In fact, the whole list of programs is worth a look for replacement of potentially bloated, unsafe applications.) thanks, but these are wallpapers & the links to the screensavers aren't Vista compat' Sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase.

2. I use my own picture files This is slightly off topic but I'm wondering why would anyone want a different screen saver then the default one if the point of it is to be used when you are away from the computer where you can't see it anyways? Some may like pretty colors, sentimental pictures, cool patterns. fish tank heater petlandOthers may want to prevent burn in, prying eyes and maybe, just maybe, to shake up their world a little bit by not using Microsoft's vision of what their computer should look like.fish tank filter safety jd, if the machine is for private use, you are probably right (although I like my fishtank ,it soothes my nerves). fish tank heater marineland

But you have a lot of offices (Doctors, Optomologists, Insurance branches come to mind) where computers sit idle half of the day and in plain sight of the customers. There it is certainly nicer if the screen displays something pleasant.

Though in that case a blank screen would work just as well as most customers will be reading magazines or such anyways.

Personal Use + Changing to a different one with pretty colors and such - This is one I don't get. If you use it for burn and prying eyes then you will be gone and can't see the different screen saver. I guess though some may want other people to see their own screen saver like the office idea above. Fish Screen Saver - I agree here. A fish tank screen saver is nice.

Kind of like how people clean their house when guests come over. "I am looking for some cool ones, for example the tunnel ones you see on Linux." Do you mean like these?
