Snow Desktop


If you have liked the Desktop Christmas Tree you will love Snow Desktop as it is the perfect companion for the Christmas Tree. Snow Desktop will make it snow on the desktop once it is executed. Not the usual kind of snow though that is falling from top to bottom in an overlay without interacting with anything that is currently displayed on the computer screen.

This Desktop Snow application interacts with everything. If you have your browser window open you will soon notice that the snow is covering all of the icons and bars on the top slowly making its way to the bottom. It can happen that that all menus are covered in snow which looks really interesting.

Moving the mouse over an area will remove the snow there so that the menus can be accessed again. The snow on the other hand will continue to fall just like in winter.

The tiny portable application is using no more than 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory while running. Just click the link below to Desktop Snow right away.

    “no more than 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory”… but with over 50% of CPU usage on an Asus EEE 1000h? I think not.

  2. OxfordRob says:

    The link for it downloads a file Snow.rar that on inspection with F-Prot shows that it contains W32/Downldr2.DZKC. I am suprised that GHacks is supplying and writing about links with suspect files? :(

    Martin you may wanna remove this as virus total shows many warnings.

    The file is absolutely clean.
    It is a false positive from many AVs.

    Here is what Avira says about it: The file ’snow.exe’ has been determined to be ‘FALSE POSITIVE’. In particular this means that this file is not malicious but a false alarm. Detection is removed from our virus definition file (VDF) with the version: 7.0.2.36.

    Thanks for that. It is annoying that you can’t always believe what a virus checker is telling you.

    What annoys me the most about viruses is that if you have the skill sets to produce viruses and spyware why not put those skills to a more possitive and good use. Yes I live in an idealistic bubble :)

    This app freezes my Vista on Athlon 2×2GHz with 2GB ram :] It needs a loot of optimization ;)

    Downloaded and scanned with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, nothing found! But, it takes a very long time to load and appears to be non responsive and when it is running it is very slow on a Athlon 64 2.8 ghz system w/ 4GB RAM

  8. Wazzup says:

    What bothers me is the fact that this thingy uses up all my processor power and is heating up my system.

    so no thanks. Looks cute though.
