I have a customer that is looking for a place to get free screen savers. I don't care for them but I don't go looking for them as I know what they can bring with them. But I figured that you guys would know where to get free malware free screen savers.

Background images or wallpaper are different from screen savers which kick on after a period of computer inactivity. Screen savers are moving images.

Here's a description of a free tool for creating screensavers:
