Guest Joan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Where can I get screensavers that are totally safe and not going to bombard me with a bunch of ads and other things that I don't want. I am particularly interested in one with animals. am willing to pay if it means it is safe. Quote
Guest Mick Murphy Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Don't touch FREEZE.COM Screensavers.

The screen saver engine itself is free and they have a large library of images you can purchase. Mike Ober. Quote

I use that one and am a subscriber so that I get access to their entire site. But their engine can also make use of a person's personal collection, and it's also free. Quote

They change every few hours. They also offer thousands (millions) of images that can be downloaded, or you can insert your own images. http://www.webshots.com Quote
Guest Kingy_0 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I have found small collection of nice screensavers on http://www.wincustomize.com they should be safe enough I've downloaded a few and had no problems with adware or viruses so far. :-) "Joan" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Where can I get screensavers that are totally safe and not going to > bombard me with a bunch of ads and other things that I don't want.

Guest mommywoman Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Michael O is trying to properly answer the lady's question. When the only answer she gets is from a lot of people telling her where NOT to go, it doesn't in fact tell her much. I understand that the others are attempting to help, but giving her information she is asking for would be more helpful.

Guest mommywoman Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Thank you for your suggestion. I found this information extremely helpful as I was looking for the same information as Joan. "Michael D.
