According to ZoneAlarm anti-spyware, the Digg Arc screensaver has a trojan in it. Can anybody verify this?

Whitecap from http://www.soundspectrum.com shows pretty smart and mathematical(perhaps) visual designs on screen. It’s very cute with bright changing colors and backgrounds. The blend of shapes and lines from one to another is great. It’s basically a visualization software for Media Players and the screen saver is a bonus. It works for most of the Media Player but unfortunately its not free.

I would greatly recommend to try the demo.

I have what I think is the perfect nomination for a 10th! It’s for the University of California at Berkeley’s SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, SETI@Home. Much like the cancer research screensaver, it uses your computer’s idle processing power to analyze a small chunk of the huge amounts of data collected from radio telescopes pointed into space to try to find patterns in all the “space noise.” Someday someone might decode something that was generated by intelligent life elsewhere.

Lookup BOINC, this is an umbrella saver that with a related tool like BAM can switch between different distributed computing projects like the Folding experiment. The manager links them together so you can participate in various projects eg SETI, Malaria control etc.

You can join teams, run the program continuously or just when idle.

I recommend mentioning GridRepublic (http://www.gridrepublic.org) a non-profit working in collaboration with BOINC to bring together research projects from around the world who utilize idle computers for research for good like Folding@home, but with a broader range of topics including climate, energy, space, and much more. See a list of the projects here: http://www.gridrepublic.org/projects GridRepublic makes everything simple and easy for finding, joining, and controlling what projects and as many computers as you want to have join.
