Ok, my screensaver keeps getting cancelled like 2 seconds after its on as if I moved the mouse or hit a key. I don't know why. I have BitDefender, TrojanHunter Guard and SpywareGuard running. So I thought, one of them had something to do with it, so one by one, I closed them and found that when Javacool's SpywareGuard is on, the screensaver gets cancelled after coming on. Why is SpywareGuard doing this? is it the realtime scanning engine that's doing this? Thanks for any info.

There may be something else in the mix, I have SpywareGuard and it does not interfere with my screensaver when it kicks in.

I would suggest disabling everything else but SpywareGuard, see if interferes with the screensaver. If it doesn't, start re-enabling other items to figure out whatelse is in the mix.

I've tried leaving just SpywareGuard running while closing the TrojanHunter Guard and BitDefender and it still interferes with the screensaver.

Ok, for some reason it doesn't interfere with the original windows screensavers. The one that was getting stopped was "3D Windows XP" which I got from Microsoft's website. Well, I guess I should set it to one of the native screensavers then. Thanks.
