Something we learned while writing this, is that you really can’t be too careful when you’re researching and installing new software. In this article we’re going to use what we’ve learned about finding new screen savers as an example of the risks any new unknown software can pose to your system, and the methods we used to minimize those dangers.

Our team has been on a mission to find those security solutions which are easy to learn and use for most (if not all) people. This is why we intend to find out who has not failed to remember who they are writing software for.
