It’s not bad code–the screensaver uses prerendered videos of the numbers dropping into liquid, and being fairly high quality (1024×768 resolution, I think) the videos take up a lot of space. It saves CPU cycles by not having to rerender each animation by just playing videos. I use this screensaver and everyone (including me) thinks it’s fascinating. Plus having the huge numbers on my screen is a useful clock from across the room. And I haven’t had any reaction from my antivirus to it, so I’m pretty sure that any concerns about malware are unfounded.

Most license agreements disclaim responsibility for malware which might sneak inside software. I wouldn’t worry about it, at least, not any more than any other software.

Have you read the license agreement and checked the site out? It says the software may contain viruses and it is up to the user to be sure it is clean. I am not so trustworthy of this site. Have you found any viruses or spyware in the file, or system abnormalities after installation.Thanks
