There was a report this screensaver may have been infected with a virus. Therefor Im not going to keep it on here. The original flash files used in it are avaliable still if you want to make them a screensaver yourself. Some people have found no evidence of a virus, but if you downloaded please try the anti-virus software mentioned later in this thread, it really is quite good. Im sorry if it did come from my file.

hey thanks man

Coestar · Jul 10, 2003

it's pretty cool, mainly because I've been lusting for some HL2 content to decorate my desktop with... this screensaver is a nice and stylish addition to that.

The only gripes I have are.. at my particular resolution (1600x1200), there is some tearing in the graphics as is plays. Also, it spins just a tad fast. I think something a little slower, or giving the option to control the speed would be a nice feature. Other than that? It could probably be improved even more if there was a little more to it. Maybe a background?

This Screensaver is so cool thanks SirMcNugget

coolUK007 · Jul 10, 2003

warning this file contains a virus. W32/CTX on the uninstall exe

i suggest you install a virus checker & clean your hard drive & say sorry to these people who now have the virus by the looks of it.

& if you are using a virus checker what sort?

SirMcNugget · Jul 12, 2003

whoa whoa what? are you serious? Im gona take it down untill I investigate that... Your saying the installer did it, or what? If thats true then Im sorry... I didn't know I used a free Flash>screensaver maker.... Im gona need to freaking scan my system to. Crap.

tic · Jul 12, 2003

see this site for info on the virus.
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32ctxa.html

Description
W32/CTX-A is a Win32 executable file virus. A polymorphic Windows virus, it uses several techniques designed to evade detection by anti-virus software products.

If the current day and hour are the same as those at the time of infection, and the current month is six months after the month of infection, then the virus will change the Desktop background colour.

tic · Jul 12, 2003

yes im serious. well my virus checker found this virus anyway. looks like the others did not.

SirMcNugget · Jul 12, 2003

I hate the damn internet and its freaking bullshit. Who the hell sits around all day thinking how can I piss off as many people as possible today. GAH!

tic · Jul 12, 2003

its sad i know. but you just gotta be well protected these days. over 800 new viruses found each month. you need firewalls, virus checkers, pop up stoppers the lot these days.

wbcheater · Jul 12, 2003

my virus pretector(PC-cilliin) didnt detect anything, i did a check on the file and the whole comp. and nothing was found . i also have a firewall(zone-alarm) i got rid of ur screen savor, un fortanately...sry sir.

tic · Jul 12, 2003

mmm well like the details say. (it uses several techniques designed to evade detection by anti-virus software products.)

im using a great virus scanner. could be the best one out. its AntiVir Guard. http://www.free-av.com i suggest you all try this great free virus scanner.

wbcheater · Jul 12, 2003

hey have an admin come and shut this thread down befor someone comes in and doesnt read ALL the thread and dowloads the virus. for other ppl's sake...

tic · Jul 12, 2003

wbcheater · Jul 12, 2003

ok good thanks...

Kitfox · Jul 12, 2003

um i installed the screensaver :S

(don't worry sirmcnugget we still wuv u)

Scalper · Jul 12, 2003

tic you sure it was just this file?

Maybe you have the viri and it invected the file. If other people don't have it then that might been what happend.

That was a great SS thx for making it. I never DL'ed the .exe I just used the .swf one with Novel Flash Screen Saver(used to be littlepeter) It just plays .swf flash files from the web or on your PC.

If anyone wants that get info and DL here

SirMcNugget · Jul 12, 2003

I ran AntiVir Personal Edition to and it didnt find it to be infected. Im still not going to put it back up because I want to be sure but that particular program found nothing.

tic · Jul 12, 2003

i have no virus. when i downloaded the screen saver & tried to install it, it found the virus in the uninstall.exe i did a scan on my hard drive & nothing else was found. all i know is it found that virus in the uninstall.exe i even download the screen saver a few times & every time it found that virus in the uninstall.exe

im on win xp btw. im not sure why you guys are not finding it on antivir. but it sure finds it on mine. here is the info from antivir history.

12/07/2003,14:05 WARNING: Contains code of the Windows virus W32/CTX!
C:\DOCUME~1\*****\LOCALS~1\TEMP\FSMSETUP\UNINSTALL.EXE File has been deleted!

so you can see it found it on mine. you can host it if you want & others can download. just saying it found it on mine.

gigaman9 · Aug 30, 2007

Sorry. I have a habit of overreacting whenever something bad happens. Also, I tried to find the file by searching for it but it didn't show up.
