What are those programs that are like screensavers but instead of displaying after the screen is inactive display on an active desktop? There's one with cockroaches if I'm not mistaken.


My dad's computer has these little climbing men that appear on the screen sometimes. He says he doesn't know how they got there. It may be a good idea to uninstall the program so that they don't get in the way, but I may not be sure how to do that. I don't even know what the program is called.

Edit:

I found them. They're called shimejis, but is there another name for this kind of programs?

Screen savers.

Window 10 just type screen savers in the start/search box and it should pop where you can turn them on/off in control panel. It's buried somewhere in control panel but the easiest way to find it is just using the search box.
