Moderator Edit: This is a very clever site, but some are reporting encountering problems when accessing this site. Be forewarned. Click at your own risk.
Another Moderator Edit: There is a 'roll over' pop-up ad on the site, yes, on the third page as far as I can see. When your mouse hits the spot, you essentially request to see the information that comes up, which is why it avoids your pop-up blockers . IF you hit it, don't panic, just don't say OK to ANYTHING! Close any window with the right corner X not anywhere inside the box or window.

Just a warning… while I was going through the pages on that site… when I got to page 3… I got one of those pop-ups saying that there was a harmful virus and I should go to such and such a site to download some software. It took a bit to get closed out of that. I would close it and another would pop up.
I'm pretty sure that nothing was downloaded onto my computer because my virus scanner didn't flag it… but I'm running a couple of scans now with my own software to check to make sure no malware was downloaded.

Yep, I went to try it out and got it too when rolling over the page. as long as you closed any windows using the right corner X box and didn't say ok anywhere, should be alright but I think I'll avoid it just the same.
I have the free version of webshots for my screensaver and wall paper tool

Here is a pretty nice screensaver and wallpaper site, they have both free and pay for versions, I use the free one, the pay for one has the High Resolution pics and unlimited picture choices, but the free one is just fine.
Just thought I'd mention an option, http://www.webshots.com/g/60/125-sh.html

Okay thanks, will give it a try. Sorry about the problems with the site I recommended. I scanned with Malware and it found nothing on my computer.

It's not downloading malwear that I can find, and as long as we close the pop-up with the corner X it won't. People who have downloaded the wallpapers aren't having trouble, it's only if you accept it that there could be a problem. Just like anywhere on the internet, we need to be cautious!

Actually, I found a page with a Trojan Horse attached to it. There were no pop ups. My virus detector alert sounded and I had to abort connection to get out of the site. I was in the Craft section looking at jelly wax candles. I tried a couple other pages and they were ok.
Like Buckeye Girl said, just beware. This is all over the internet and use at your own discretion. I have the same problem when looking at friends' Myspace pages even. But I update my virus detector every day so the "live" virus detector has the latest and greatest viruses loaded.
