Bubble Screen Saver Vista

Whenever I am doing a Windows Defender or a Virus scan and the Bubble Screen
Saver comes on, the scan stops. They will not work with this screen saver.

Re: Bubble Screen Saver Vista

Are you sure they're stopping? Remember that the bubble screen saver does
not show a "live" screen - it takes a snapshot of the screen and then
animates the bubbles over that screen shot. Programs should continue to run
fine in the background.

Hi IAN,

In addition to Richard's post, listen to your hard drive for activity and to see if the light is blinking. If it is, then it is running in the background as it should be.
