1. Unfortunately there really are not good screensavers. My advice would be to just stick with what you have.
2. try the microsoft website
3. The one I have been using for years is Webshots. It's pretty awesome. You can insert you own pics very easily. You can purchase it or use their free version.
4. Welll I suggest that you don't download them anymore. If tghatg indicates anything, everything on the ins't the safest....so you should keep the ones you have on your computer....
5. you could make ure own with programs? or use afe sites like microsoft ect
6. Yes, C/Net (download.com) - I really trust this site, it's safe and spyware free. It's a great site and has a lot of quality software that is free - in all of the years that I have used CNet, not once have I had a problem from any of the software I downloaded and installed from this site. I also like it because CNet does reviews on the software and provides user reviews, which I really find helpful. There is also a publisher's description of the software and you can go directly to the publisher's site to check it out, which I often do. I have McAfee SiteAdvisor, so when I go to the publisher's site I will be reassured if it has a green rating (safe) and I also read the site report that McAfee provides. If McAfee has also downloaded the product and found it spyware-free and McAfee user reviews for the site are good, I will have done my research and go ahead with the download and install. Even so, I always do scans whenever I install new software - that way you can nip any nasties in the bud and it's far better to be safe then sorry! Here's the link to CNet and if you check out the left column of the screen titled "Windows Software", you will find the "Screensavers & Wallpaper" section: http://www.download.com/ Edit: You can get the free versions of the paid version screensavers - you don't get all of the features, of course, but they are pretty good just the same. While you are at CNet check out all of the Freeware - you would be amazed at some of the quality software you can get for free; all of my antivirus and antispyware programs have come from CNet (Avast, AVG, SUPERAntiSpyware, Spybot, Adaware 2007, Spyware Blaster, to name a few!) and I have some other very, very neat software programs - my computer is full of great programs from CNet, I love this site.
