How do I dump a screen saver?

more options

I have a screen saver that is NOT from Firefox, and I'd really like to get rid of it as it is annoying. Please tell me how I can dump it permanently. I have already uninstalled EVERYTHING associated with it, but it is still there interrupting my use of the computer.It is Marine Aquarium Lite from Mindspark

It is NOT a toolbar. I have dumped the associated toolbar, and in fact when this stupid message comes up, it tells me I can't get the screen saver without installing the toolbar. I already got rid of the toolbar, now I still cannot get rid of the screen saver---or the message.

Firefox has nothing to do with the Screen Saver feature in the operating system.

You may have gotten rid of the toolbar, but you still have a plugin installed which Firefox knows about (in your More System Details listing from when you asked this question) - MindSpark Toolbar Platform Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows

Remove that garbage from your computer through Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It still took some computer gymnastics with some help from revo uninstaller ((a treasure utility), but I was finally able to dump it. Thank you again so much for your help!
