question about downloading screensavers.?

If I disable a Virus protection file, install a screensaver, then enable the Virus protection file again, will that work, or will the Virus file disable my screensaver. I tried to buy a screensaver, but no one sells them around here. Also, if this can be done, can you give me easy info on how to do this, please? I am not great with computers and Internet programs.

Update:

I have Windows XP and Avast Virus protection. I also have an older version of Marine 2 exe. that I want to activate. When I put the Avast on recently, the Marine Screensaver stopped.

    They have some free screensavers here that are safe. I've downloaded and tested them.

    A screen saver is an executable. If it has a virus, a good anti-virus won't let you run it.
