    No. The worms use Outlook's API for the attack. Renaming it won't help.
    Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.

    Try using Norton-Antivirus, or McAffee against those creepy worms. Those anti-virus apps. really help.
    Btw, .scr worms/viruses can do many malicious things just as the .exe viruses do.
    B/c windoze treats them like executable files (almost).
