Cyber-D's AntiScreensaver 1.01

I made this little program that runs in the background (system tray) and monitors the titles of running programs. If the title of a window contains a certain text, then it will prevent the system from starting the screensaver and even shutting down the monitor or going to standby. It does this simply by simulating a keypress every minute (shift key).

This can also be usefull if you watch YouTube and don't want to be interrupted by a screensaver. Simply have youtube open, and enter "youtube" in the AntiScreensaver applications list. Now any window containing the text "youtube" will trigger the application to prevent the screensaver (and other powersave options).

Too much CPU/memory usage for an antiscreensaver/tray icon.

No option to permanently delete the autostartup.

It uninstalls very fine, no traces.
