Screensavers Without Spyware

Screensavers Without Spyware

     For some reason, websites that offer the free desktop wallpaper that quietly sits on your icon page are usually safe, but my SITE ADVISOR program gives a red light to most sites that offer the free screensavers that move and change so seductively. And, if I were dumb enough to download one of those red-light screensavers, I’d probably be downloading a Trojan along with it. So, for your safe enjoyment, I’ve searched out green-light screensavers and wallpapers you can download with confidence.

CHRISTINA’S SCREENSAVERS

     CHRISTINA’S SCREENSAVERS are totally different from the usual kind. I like them very much, and so will you if your taste runs to turn-of-the-last-century art.

     When I tried to get a Vladstudio screensaver, however, my Spysweeper program blocked it as a dangerous site. The wallpapers are okay. Strange, but I suspect they imported screensavers with Trojans, not knowing they were there.

BUY SCREENSAVERS

     Exceptional beauty tends to be expensive. These screensavers, at $9.95, cost less than most beautiful things:

NOT AN ORDINARY SCREENSAVER

     You can now download AARON, a program that will create one freshly painted work of art after another – works of art never seen before – as a screensaver on your computer. Most of the paintings are abstract, but some include figures. Aaron represents the life work of Dr. Harold Cohen, head of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts at the University of California. You can use the following site about Aaron to begin a study of AI (artificial intelligence or machine intelligence), or you can simply download and enjoy a screensaver like no one else’s. AARON is not free, but it is certainly unique.
