Viruses/worms can be embedded in a .pif file. The point of using .pif is that Windows software frequently considers it to indicate executable content that should be automatically executed when double-clicked. Irregularities in the PIF data can cause the OS to run other code. SIRCAM rides this horse, in addition to others. I just got a .scr file from the same address. -- -D.
