"Leery"About Uploading A .scr File

October 10, 2008 8:42:04 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I 'think' I Found the Scr. File Of My Favorite Screensaver But I Am Not Sure If It Is What I Should Upload Because Its Only 80.00KB And Its Very Complex And Most I Have Downloaded Are Like 400 So Should I Still Upload it and See if it works?

Is the Screensaver from the gallery library here?  What is the name or give a link.

I would suggest no, unless you created it

If you meant 'download', then see reply #1 above.

Smallest I have is 24k....the 'Matrix' screensaver [or one of the many]...so they need not be big.

Only issue is...a 'scr' is an executable...and thus could have a nasty payload...eg virus/trojan, etc.

Since it appears from what you say to not be yours there's no option for you to 'upload' it here at all.  Content is required to be your own work....

If you meant upload, then why:

If you did not create that screensaver, then do not upload it.
If you made it, then upload it.
If you found it here, then read reply number #1 and tell us where you found it.

Virtually Identical To The Music Player Visualization.

Creating a Screen Saver using Visual Basic would be the most likely way to insert a virus, etc. although scanning the .scr or .zip package with your virus scanner should thwart any "nasty payloads". With many screen saver programs, like Axialis Professional Screen Saver Producer, I feel it would be impossible to insert a malicious code into the saver. Many of the savers made by WC screen saver authors use the Axialis program.

This is a sweet setup. http://www.soundspectrum.com/uses.html?page=5
