deleting unwanted screensaver

[Guest]

How do I remove a screensaver item? Somehow a pornographic screensaver has
been added to my list of choices under my screensaver tab in DIslay. I have
tried to delete it, but cannot find out how. When I click on settings a
window pops up that is writtein in what looks like German and I cannot read
it. Can someone tell me how I can get rid of this????

There's the easy way and the hard way. Let's try the easy way first.

If you're lucky, here's all you need to do: Screensavers have a .scr file
extension. Search your hard disk for all files ending with .scr and delete
the offending screensaver.

If you're not lucky you have spyware, and you'll have to scan your computer
with one (or more likely, several) online spyware scanners. Here's one to
start with:
