    what kind of file extension is .scr ?

    I get emails sent back to me if they are bounced from a newsletter I send out.


    The file is always message.scr... I will not open it because Mcafee pops up every time I get an email like this and wants me to scan my computer for a virus.

    It always gives me a directory on my domain which is not there... its like they have a program creating a fake directory on my domain..



    I hope this sounds clear... can anyone make sense of this?


    Thanks

                      .scr is a screen saver. but viruses can be imbedded in it. it's one of the more popular ways to spread viruses and worms.

                          screen saver. same as .exe file. if you rename a .exe file to .scr it will work the same.

                              .scr is a screensaver file like mentioned, sorta like an executable file.. watch out for .pif files also.. i've seen some boucned emails with those extensions as well..

                                      Wind0ws screen saver file. If they are sent to you in email.. they carry worms and trojans with an executable code.

                                                                          If you open it, it'll most likely resend the message (or a variation of it) to everyone in your email address book with the virus attached. It also probably pick someone else in your address book to appear as the sender.


                                                                          Yeah I understand that. I wont open it....

                                                                          But this is being sent back to me after I send out a mailer.... do does this mean that everyone on my 80,000 mailing list is possibly getting this email that looks like it was sent from me?

                                                                          That would fucking suck.... I have not got any emails back from people complaining though.... This started happening about 3 weeks ago.

                                                                                                              I realize what kind of file it is now. I just need to know how to contain a possible person sending this email to everyone on my list.
                                                                                                              I dont see how its related to your list?

                                                                                                              Its just spoofed addresses coming from infected surfers who have your email in their cache.
