stupidhomer,

The .scr extension (screensaver) can be thought as a executable file. Spybot-Search&Destroy purposely puts a .scr file as a self-defense mechanism against malware that would disable Spybot and other anti-spyware programs from starting up.

There is nothing to worry about and this is normal (I have it too).

Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was starting to think something was making spybot like a worm and replicating it into screensaver files, well at least now i know there is no problem with spybot
