Some lcd monitors show a bit of burnin. Nothing burns,
but the result is the same.
So if you have the same software window up all the time,
and there are large periods of inactivity, a screensaver
can be useful, I use a nice aquarium with swimming fish.

If you see "burnin", there are small programs around to
exercise the bits with rapidly shifting on/off pixels,
which are said to cure the burnin,or sticky pixels.
Have never tried them.

My screen saver is interrupted by a Norton AntiVirus message briefly
displayed over the notification area of the Task Bar. It's too quick
to read but I can see "Norton AntiVirus ...". I effectively now have
no screen saver, hence my original question.

You should be able to go into the Power control panel, and set things
such that your computer enters S1, after a period of activity. All
that happens in S1, is the computer stops sending a video signal to
the monitor. The rest of the computer continues to run.

In response, the monitor turns off the backlight and goes
into standby. That will cause the least wear on your monitor, and avoid
burn-in. On my monitor, the status LED goes from green to yellow, there
is a brief OSD popup saying "No signal" and then the monitor backlight
goes off. While the backlight on a monitor could last as long
as 25000 hours, a lot of inverters (the thing that powers the
backlight), fail well before that number of hours. It is better
to just have the monitor switch off, than to be running a screensaver
all the time.

The OP asked about lcds, and sticky pixels ARE found.
Calling them sticky or burned is just semantics.
Exercizing LCD pixels might solve the broblem a little bit.
