I've recently received five SCR files, over the last couple of weeks -
Norton Anti-Virus identified all of them as a Virus and deleted them (it
was until to repair them). I use a fully updated version of Norton
Internet Security, which includes Norton Anti-Virus.

I placed one of them in quarantine, just out of interest, it contains
W95.Hybris.gen.dr, Norton reports the likelihood of seeing this virus as
'rare', and gives it's properties as 'memory resident', 'size stealth',
'full stealth', 'triggered event', 'encrypting', and 'polymorphic'.
