If I remember right, .scr files were like screensaver executables that 
in the old/naive/win98 days, meaning auto-infection on run.

Run file against it on a linux box, probably find it to be a win32 
executable with some nasty payload.  Probably hoping to find those 
unpatched winxp (and prior) boxes still floating around out there.

Odd, spam seems to be on the rise once again.  Meh, so 90's... After 
almost a good 15 years on this email spam free, I started getting 
hammered recently with various phish links and nasty windoze executable 
attachments.  Back to basics I suppose.
