Screensaver switching on?

Since I installed v2.0.2500.10 of OneCare, my screensaver settings keep
changing themselves! I have screensaver switched off (I power the screen off
instead) but I keep getting the Windows XP default SS on my screen!

It also happens on my Brother's PC - anyone know how to stop this happening?

I'm trying to get a handle on this problem, but I suspect that OneCare is
turning the screensaver on, but there's actually another issue that it makes it
go on in 10 minutes, no matter what you select.
The workaround is to set the timer to 9999 and that allows it to stay "off" and
won't reset. There's lots of buzz on this and I'm trying to find out the story
from the OneCare team.
