I hate to sound obvious, but it sounds like some sort of screensaver file.

If you think that, I hope you're not responsible for too many systems.
Many viruses come as .scr files. An .scr file will run code on your system in a heartbeat.
Vagabond, don't worry about that email. It most likely did not come from your old email address. Your old addy was spoofed in there by a virus message sent from some infected machine that just happen to have your old addy stored on it. If you look at the header of that email, you'll see the real "From" address. I've received infected email from myself, and I know I never sent any such thing. Next time you see one of these, check the message header.
