    A warning:
    Many of you who like science fiction will be tempted to try the "I, Robot" screensaver available through download.com 279MG. I highly recommend that you pass it by. I started to install it and received a warning about spyware (QuickSearch). I canceled the installation but it was too late. Software was installed that took me the whole night to remove going through my drives and registry. Adaware & Spyblaster will not help you with this one. It makes your computer run like trash and immediately goes to the net. It is self-replicating and appears to act more like a virus or trojan. A less experienced person might end up formatting their hard drive to get rid of this one. I hope I can save others that pain.

    Enjoy the weekend.
