Exclamation Security issue

Hello everybody,

First of all, this is an absolute fantastic screensaver!

But:

there is one major security issue. If the screensaver is active and you'll go to the settings window, pushing the website button wil bring you to......indeed....the serenscreen website.

The big flaw is that after that you'll have unlimited acces to browse to every site you want! Even if quiting the screensaver is protected by entering your password! It is also possible to "browse" to a network share and do nasty stuf if you want to!

I know for sure that there are people (including me) that won't use such a marvelous screensaver if it will leave the backdoor wide open!

I hope Jim will do something about it (before it is released anyway)

Regards,
Remon
