It is the screensaver which will be displayed when we don't log on for a long period in the logon menu..

Can make strange problems, after one day of a running machine with disabled screen saver, i have more than 60 logon.scr processes running. Virustotal says it has no virus in the logon.scr under system32/ not possible to delete it.
