Subject: Re: Screen Saver Reactivated itself?


"Is it possible that the Screensavers creator's have attached an activation date to this Screensaver so that around Christmas time, the Coke ScreenSaver activates itself?"

Yes it is possible. It would be easy enough to write a script to trigger on a certain date and be written to do anything. In this case something as little as changing a screen saver should be comforting. The writer of such malware could have just as easily included code to erase (format) your hard drive. Caution is warranted.
