virus anyone?

So I logon to Pfft.net for the first time in, oh I don't know, ages, and I have six new emails in my account. Strange... did someone actually write me something? Spam, spam, spam, returned email, returned email, spam. That's a negative. Hmm, returned emails eh? Since when did I ever send email? Interesting.

This message has been rejected because it has a potentially executable attachment "part_01.pif" This form of attachment has been used by recent viruses or other malware. If you meant to send this file then please package it up as a zip file and resend it.

Hmm, why bother looking at the headers when I already know the answer? Damn malicious code kiddies. And to think, in American news some Gator company guy got a job at Homeland Security. Do we remember the Gator company? If you do it's probably because you tried to rid it from your machine and were unsuccessful.
