    pipes.scr is the 3d pipes screensaver on windows NT/2000.  It's a very
    commonly used screensaver, so my guess is that whatever is doing the
    uploading, it's sending a trojaned version of the pipes screensaver.
    Perhaps that screensaver itself is what's doing the scanning and
    attempted uploads.
    
    It would be handy if you could extend your netbus simulator to accept
    the upload and capture the presumably trojaned pipes.scr.
    
    Cheers
