I'm definitely setting this as my screensaver. Did you make it?

EDIT: Yikes, I am NOT using it, AVG says it's a virus.

Yep.

False positive, I guess. I scanned it with Avira before uploading, as I do with all executables. If you have a MinGW+SDL dev environment, I can give you the source if you'd like to compile it yourself.

Also, do you get the alert while testing or while running install.bat?

It's very stupid to automatically believe anything an antivirus program tells you. Scan the suspicious file manually with several other programs: if all report it as a virus, then sure, why the hell not, it is one. But if they don't...yeah.

(I didn't mean to say you were stupid, just to point out that you should always make sure that the file is a virus yourself.)

Fair enough. It panicked when I extracted the archive and said that "delete.bat" was a virus. X3

Well, it does delete two files in system32 (that install.bat puts there in the first place :P) so I guess it has a right to be cautious about that. You could also have opened delete.bat in a text editor:
Code: [Select]
@ECHO OFF
del c:\windows\system32\seeds.scr
del c:\windows\system32\SEESCRL.dll
