Virus in osx-e screensavers?

Just as a headsup, if any one looking for a Mac screensaver for a PC, you may find this link:

http://www.osx-e.com/downloads/category/screensavers

do NOT download any of them! they have viruses attached to them, and I found out because as soon as I downloaded, my AVG popped up with Virus Detected!

Just a helpful Note.

i downloaded every single screensaver from there over 8 months ago and i can say that there is no virus or whatsoever in any of them

thx, wwarren. but, osx-e is a reputable site and i've never had any problems with anything up there. probably a false positive from avg. but, thx again for the heads up.

ouch, what an accusation. I'm the osx-e founder and never be convicted or involve in any crime. But, I used to hire a convicted person (dremation aka djwilliams) as an admin and he almost ruin the entire site by his act. And from your statement, I believe he had give a very bad reputation to osx-e. He being an admin there for less than 2 months but he already setup a false store, scamming few members, screwed the forum.

As for the program listed, most of them are tested by me, osx-e staff and few members and if we found out any virus/adware/spyware on the program we will remove them immediately.

It is this exact paranoia that makes you more vulnerable to all malware, adware, and spyware. I can confirm that none of the download links in that site have any viruses or shitware whatsover atleast til now

Damn.. I've all those screensavers and never ever my AV gave me anything I downloaded from OSX-E. Way to go Alang !!!
