Screen Saver window
AVAST32 program contains also screen saver, which allows you to scan viruses in time when computer is not engaged, when you are not working on it. Virus scanning works on the background of screen saver chosen by user, so the look of screen saver is fully controlled by user.
About test progress is user informed via window moving on the screen . It contains information about just tested file and the number of already tested files. In case the virus is found the test is stopped and message about virus detection is displayed in the window.
The window can be in several colors. If color depth of display is set to low number of colors (less then 65536) the background is white and the text is black, if virus is found background will be black and the text white. If color depth is set to high colors the text will be white and background blue or red (if virus is found).
