I think this rule is useful but perhaps too overarching.

.scr files are screen savers, not scripts. Screen savers in Windows are really normal programs with a different extension and that take different command-line arguments.

Indeed the viruses do come with .scr (screen saver) and .pif (program information file) extensions. It just so happens that both of these are common containers for viruses -- they are both executible, although I am not sure how the .pif one works, since it usually redirects to a DOS program. But unquestionably they are both very common in virus messages, not just the current SoBig variety.

How do you do this in mail? I can't figure out how to tell it to mark messages with a particular attachment (i.e. .PIF) as Junk and delete it. |
