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.

Today, I received an email containing a document with this name:

_efax_msg1110.scr

And I cannot figure out how to open, view, or convert it to something that I can view or read.

After searching the 'net, I still can't find a solution.

Help.
