Scenic Reflections Reviewer's Comments

Scenic Reflections is a service site with screensavers devoted entirely to striking and inspiring photographs of scenery and nature. Also, this service accompanies each screensaver with original piano music. Although the products offered on this site are quite good, the lack of diversity kept Scenic Reflections from scoring any higher.

As with all screensaver websites there is no guarantee downloads will be adware and virus free. We’ve found a great bargain on anti–virus and anti–spyware software through online retailer Herman Street. Right now you can buy the #1 rated anti-virus program, Bit Defender, and the #1 rated Spyware Eliminator (a $54.90 value) for just $24.95.

Adware/Spyware Safe:  

All Scenic Reflection’s screensavers and wallpapers include the “My Global Search” toolbar, which also puts adware on your computer. If you erase this adware, you lose the downloaded screensaver as well. This toolbar is always present and appears at the bottom of your screen right above the windows taskbar.

As a precaution, whenever you download screensavers (or any program off the Internet), we recommend using anti–virus and anti–spyware software to provide protection against harmful programs that can threaten your system.

Feature Set:  

Scenic Reflections features 45 separate, eye–catching screensaver packages, each designed as a slideshow and offering 50 different photographs that cycle on your monitor. Scenic Reflections also offers a free newsletter.

Ease of Use:  

Scenic Reflection’s categories are few and a breeze to search.

The download process is best described as thorny; a time consuming process that is slowed by the steady stream of adware popups.

Screensaver Quality:  

Although few in number, the screensavers at Scenic Reflections are stunning photos, the veritable pick of the litter. Unfortunately, due to the different programs you’re forced to take in conjunction with the screensaver, downloading these photos can be a tiresome endeavor.

Search Categories:  

Scenic Reflections has only a handful of screensaver categories, so if you are searching for something other than a nature screensaver your chances are slim that you will find it.

Help/Support:  

Scenic Reflections welcomes questions and comments via email or by telephone; for extra help and support they provide a pretty decent FAQ section.

Summary:  

Scenic Reflections is an awesome site to visit if you want to see some impressive scenery, but due to a grueling download process, a number of add–ons and a small selection, you may find yourself getting your screensaver goods elsewhere.
