Screen savers and Viral Marketing

[nashville]

I am interested in doing a screen saver and also it for viral marketing.

The problem is I am not sure how to package the pictures and distribute them so they will run and how someone using them as a screen saver would install them.

Any ideas you can share would be appreciated.

I would tend to recommend against using a screensaver for viral marketing, for the viral reason. Screensavers have become associated with spyware and viruses, especially the free ones, which for several years were used as a platform to distribute malware to unsuspecting computers.

Yep, and it is very old technique now, you could have tried out with video marketing through youtube possibly.
