Post by Ron HNow I am not an IT professional mind you but I used test files with the scr
extension as "SCRipt" files. The operating system likes to grab them and
just do as the text inside instructs it. I use OE and it would reject such
files if I set it up to but being a curious fellow, I like to see what I am
missing.

Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to adhere
to the following basic security "best practices":
* Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains
file attachments that are commonly used to spread viruses, such as .vbs,
.bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files.

If you wonder what you're missing in scr files, you could be a mite too
curious.
