TopTenREVIEWS - Silver Award - Awarded for excellence in design, useability and feature set

Freesaver.com is our #2 ranked screensaver service and "TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award" winner. Freesaver.com is a broad collection of screensavers that have been combined from various developers and sites. We were impressed with this service's feature set; especially that they provide screensavers for Mac users.

The screensavers at Freesaver.com are plentiful; however, the quality of screensavers is better at the gold and silver award winning sites.

Though Freeesaver.com examines each screensaver for adware, it cannot guarantee that all screensavers available through partnering sites will be totally free of spyware and computer viruses. To better protect yourself, we recommend using qualified anti–virus and anti–spyware software

Freesaver.com boasts a massive screensaver library and we found all of their links up–to–date and accurate. Freesaver.com gives you two options to search its database of screensavers; you can either browse through categories or use the search box. We found both methods worked well. A detailed description, picture preview, and rating are also available for every screensaver.

Freesaver.com also features a section that provides you with links to some free screensaver creation programs.

Ease of Use:   Excellent

To use Freesaver.com, simply click to download a screensaver and you will be automatically linked to the appropriate web page. (You’ll need to allow popups or the download links may not work properly). Also, some of the files are in zip format, so you may also need to download a free application to open them.

Screensaver Quality:   Excellent

All submitted screensavers are tested for quality, viruses, and possible adware by Freesaver.com, so you can download relatively worry–free. We did stumble across one screensaver, which tried to give our computer a virus, but it was blocked by our anti–viral software. Most screensavers on the site have a rating of good or better by Freesaver.com and we found their ratings to be accurate.

Search Categories:   Excellent

Freesaver.com has almost all of the search categories we looked for and its collection of screensavers is well–sorted and easy–to–find.

Help/Support:   Excellent

You can ask questions or submit your own screensaver creations via email to Freesaver.com. There is also a trouble–shooting section available with helpful information about the service’s download process.

Summary:  

Freesaver.com is an impressive screensaver site with a huge library and easy–to–use search options. We found all of the screensavers to be adware free. Freesaver.com does a thorough search for adware; however, we feel the service can’t guarantee screensavers to be adware free because it links you to other sites. If you’re looking for an abundant source of screensavers, Freesaver.com is a service to add to your favorites list.
