Hi Brink again,

Thanks for the help from last time, yeah from this website I can download versatile of screensaver for my windows 7, I just wonder how do I know is to install this screensaver? I do have antivirus software on my pc so is enough to scan the screensaver before install it? Coz I remember sometime when I download some apps from internet and scan it before install, however it found an virus during installation and not enough just scanning the actual .exe extension file.

Regard.

Sometimes the AV program won't catch it until it runs, but I've never had an issue from those two sites.

Hi Brink,
Then I give a try.

BUt why the AV sometime can't catch the virus until it run?

Regard,
Thanks.

Because there are so many new viruses and malware created each day, the AV program's definitions may not include these to be able to catch them early. If the AV program is good, it will hopefully catch these while running using pattern recognition before any damage is done. This is not always the case, so that's why it's best to never open or run a file/program from an unknown or unsafe source.

Hi Brink,
I see that's why uh.

Thanks again brink.
