Sure enough, there's the link. My brain has a tendency to stop me from
reading any further once I think I've found what I'm looking for.

I just downloaded the setup file from the link you refer to:

http://www.3d-screensaver-jam.com/files/free/deepwater.exe

and ran it through Virus Total:

http://www.virustotal.com

It came up clean. I used Universal Extractor to bust the setup file open
into a subdirectory and didn't see anything suspicious. I ran the .scr
file and yes, it's just a simple image-fading-to-image screensaver. It's
okay but not that special. Has a large website address at the top.

Thanks for the info, Zo.

John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts
sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous
remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries
posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.
