Hi,
.scr is scripting language. One way (other than a good antivirus program
and/or firewall) is to go into "my computer", "add remove programs",
"windows setup" and then delete (turn off windows scripting) as most people
done use this "feature".

This will give you at least three ways to avoid this problem:-})
