Whenever you install anything from free sites make sure you untick all the addons and crapware that may come packaged with it.

hiwatt- make sure you take Fruit Bat's advice. Some 'free' screensavers can bring problems that are hard to remove.

I don't think I'll install anything from that site.I downloaded one of the screensavers and scanned the .exe file with avast and it found no threat but I was doing an online scan with Eset and when it finished it informed me that the screensaver .exe file was infected.Luckily I hadn't installed it yet.Thanks folks.
