Stars or warp effect screensaver

I have just built my girlfriend a new PC. She wants either the 'warp effect' or a star field as here screensaver.

Any suggestions in where I can find one on the web, they all seem riddled with spam, etc when I searched for one.
 
I wonder if it's possible to retrieve the previous relevant ssstars.scr file from an older version of Windows you might have on another computer, and pop it into the current Windows/system32 folder?
 
Isn't there a default Windows screen saver with moving stars? And why? Screen savers are beyond useless.
 
there's nothing preventing one from making their own warp streaking animation.

When you come down to it, it IS an animation of sorts.
series of images.

free 3d programs can easily do streaking warp effect by using particles.
I did it a lot of the times in 3d studio Max.

Of course I haven't tried making it as a screensaver (because I find them pointless, so I just set the screen to turn itself off after some time).
