typed in alt.windows7.general the following:
Just a note about a current attack. I just got an email
with an attached .SCR. No message. Screensaver!
I'd forgotten those existed.

I changed HKCR\.scr default value to "txtfile" and deleted
HKCR\scrfile\

I don't know of any reason for screensavers to still exist.
I certainly don't use them.


You don't, but I'm sure that there are someones who still use
them. Default, habit, "no reason" not too.


I like the slideshow! I downloaded some fantastic (to me) wall papers,
and I've got good monitors. :-)
