"scr is the file extension for screen savers. There have been many cases where trojans or viruses have been delivered with a screen saver. The problem is that when you download a screen saver form the web and lauch it on your machine, the code will be executed with your user account and thus it can basically access every file that you can access. "
If it where a *real* screen saver, ther would be no problem, but this kind of code its some sort of SOURCe of an script language that some maildisplayers recognize (like Outlook), I think its VisualBasic Or Javascript, not too sure, I remeber having used it myself sometime...
