    Beware! I have just run into a badily written Screensaver, I was sent a screensaver by my sister,( she is one of people who insist sharing bad humour), anyway checked it out . OK it's clean of virus, load it up, not that funny, hit uninstall it setup.

    The $%$#^ thing deleted every file on my machine with extenition .scr :x , compleatily ripped the gut out every mod I had been working on :cry:

    Yes, mirrored drive. Didn't help, the idiot writter used a wildcard search string in the uninstall and hidden window, I'm not sure but think it could have been deliberate, writter's idiot joke.

    What really upsets me is it didn't delete all the files it installed, that's how I found the wildcard string. Guess what else? No menstion, of the writter, main reason I think it's deliberate.
