I think target.scr would be a screensaver of some sort, most likely. Dunno about it being a virus email.

If you don't know where they came from, why would you open them?

 

[ZeroBurn]

it opens in outlook's preview pane, i deleted it once i saw it

.scr attachments are known to have Klez in them... don't open that crap.. that should be first nature..

And turn off your preview pane, that way there's a much better chance that your anti-virus will catch the thing as it's being downloaded. If it's set to execute with only a view, it could sting ya.

.scr's are bad news 99.9999999999% of the time.

Don't open it.

If it's Klez and it opened automatically (which it will if you aren't patched), you've probably just been infected.

turn off preview pane.

of course i'm not going to open it, i was asking if anyone knew what kind of virus it was.

i leave the preview pane open purposely, with the amount of mail i shift through it's worth it even if i do double my chances of getting infected.

I feel myself unable to keep the letters "B" and "S" from escaping my lips.
