I would like to download some screensavers and wallpapers. How do I know if they are safe? Ted Martyn
It should be safe to download from reputable sites - you can always Google a site to see whether other people have had problems. In general, I'd be wary of screensavers or wallpapers packed in .exe (executable) files, though they are more likely to contain adverts than viruses. If you download zip files, you can scan them before you install the contents. JPeg image files are usually safe. DeviantART and Caedes are among many good sources of wallpaper images.
