    Screensavers
    I had downloaded screensavers, then this picture started coming up saying they could not display because my toolbar has been removed. I went to the site and downloaded AOL toolbar. Still the same thing. Am I too dumb to have a computer or what?:confused:

    Some software that you download will require you to install an advertising toolbar to internet explorer. It may be that your antispyware has blocked this and that is why your screensavers will not work.

    My advice is to uninstall the screensaver software - stuff like this will cause more problems through spyware than they are worth.

    Remember - if it seems too good to be true... it probably is.

    Agree with Stu - most of the "free screen saves" = the aquarium etc come with other invasive software, ads, aware etc. Best to stay away.
