Is it safe to download a free screensaver or are there strings attached?
Sometimes, free screensavers aren’t just pretty pictures that perk up your desktop — they can come with viruses attached, too. For example, the “Friendship Screensaver” that circulated on the Internet contained a computer virus. It’s important to use your anti-virus software and scan any files you download, including screensavers. And make sure to only download files from sites and companies you know well and trust.
