It will only let me select YES once

I know this has been a issue for a long time . People would really like to see a screen saver section but there are problems with viruses when it comes to these type of apps.
I am hoping very much that this poll is on here because it is actually being considered and that a way has been found for the submissions to be check throughly for viruses before they are downloaded.
Good and free screen savers are very hard to find. Yes, I understand that a lot of work is put into these and that wanting them for free is asking a lot. I also figure though that a lot more work is involved in making a WB so it may not be too much to ask for.
As for looking over other sites for free screen savers, it is a very scary place to go. Way too many chances are taken and you never know what or where things are or going to be installed on your computer.
Please, please create this section so that we have a safe place to download screen savers and with the talent we have here I am certain that they will also be the best ones available.

I would really like to know what kind of screensaers people like or use. I just use the feature in webshots as a screensaver.

What I want is more screensavers like my own creation, XXSvgSaver. ( http://wave.prohosting.com/xxcoder/xx.htm )

Basically, you won't have to worry about viruses etc because you download data files from others but use just one program.

Note: XXSvgSaver needs SVG plugin for IE from abode to work.

I'd say my only concern would be virii, which I'm sure uploads would be scanned for prior to being approved? Guess I'm just not a trusting person ... too many years of being a tech, "All I did was download this cool 3D screensaver, and now my computer doesn't work."

Virus??!! Who cares?!!? It would be a horrible waste of WC's bandwidth and disk space.

Something to download to jazz your system up WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE...I see, it makes perfect since to me.

Screensavers? why? That would be setting the skinning community back a bit. Lets see some good animated wallpapers instead. Screensavers are obselete aren't they? I would rather see people learning DX script rather than spending time on some half baked screensaver. Lets face it, the good screensavers cost money. The free ones stink.

I'm with Keila...good ss would be a nice addition here

I am on the no side of this one. I would love to see some imaginative screen savers, but the trogan house thing takes the fun out of it.

Now if Stardock CREATED a program for screensavers that would make it so that you would not have to download an executable to change the way it looks... now you got an idea.

I haven't used a screensaver since monitors started having the power saving sleep mode.  Seems silly to me to have the monitor "on" when not in use.

You just need an animated DX screen that hides your desktop after so many minutes and brings it back with activity,l that way you could also enjoy it when you returned to the computer......I wonder if that is possible (can you tell that I couldn't script my way out of a paper bag?)

I haven't used a screensaver besides blank screen since, well, forever. So I would not be in favor of a ss catagory.

I think it would be nice with screensavers, although I'm worried about virus and the quality. I don't expect stuff like this coming: http://www.serenescreen.com/product/time/index.php Although it would be awesome.

I would appreciate ss as a catagory....so far I only use those from...krazydad.com...fun to watch kaleidoscope screensavers..As Keila said...I could only hit yes once..

Here's some others I use that had no viruses or spyware in them.
