    It could have also been a proper .SCR (screensaver) file.

    Because, fun fact: screensaver files on Windows are just renamed exes.

      What- why?? There is some reason? I don’t understans why it’s a proper executable, it’s such a security risk

        I know, but remember that the .scr format was invented on Windows 3.1. It was a very different world then. No internet, no emails for the average user.
