756232 2009-03-14 07:06:00 Hi Everyone; Just a few questions about Screensavers

1) If a game has a screensaver and I or the game decides to install it, how will I remove it? is it as simple as deleting the .SCR file in \WINDOWS\system32?

2) What is the Avast! Antivirus Screensaver used for?

Thanks:thanks:thanks:thanks:thanks:thanks

756233 2009-03-14 07:15:00 1) Yes, most probably. It prob doesn't take up much room, so why not keep it there?

2) IIRC its not really a screensaver, it just scans your PC or something when the PCs idle

It's not really a screen saver but an overlay that adds virus scanning while your chosen screen saver is running.



Some Antivirus software will not run if a screen saver is also running.

A special screen-saver is also provided, that, when running, performs virus scanning. avast! antivirus works together with your favorite screen-saver, so you don't have to change your personal settings to use it.
