[Box Backup] Run BB as a screensaver/when screensaver is running

On Windows machines one has to have a virusscanner and when Boxbackup
kicks in and starts to scan the disk, so does the virusscanner and
although box uses about 30% of the CPU time the virusscanner uses the
rest, leaving the the user with a machine that is slow responsive.
What I thought of was that since a box scan takes about 5-10 minutes
(not the initial) it would probably fit into a normal users break.
So how do I detect the break? When the screensaver kicks in.
The question is though: Does anybody know a way to limit boxbackup scans
to the time when a screensaver is running (thought of SyncAllowScript)
and even better, to have a pseudo screensaver that starts the real
screensaver and a boxscan?
Thank
