PIFs, or Program Information Files, define how a given MS-DOS program should be run in a multi-tasking environment, notably to avoid giving it unnecessary resources which could remain available to other programs. TopView was the originator of PIFs which were inherited and extended by DESQview and Microsoft Windows, where they are most often seen.
Immediately delete all those mails and scan your computer with a good antivirus with latest update. Consider yourself lucky if your computer is still functioning without any error.
Antivirus is not GOD.
It can and it does make mistakes.
The best bloodhounds can be easily cheated.
Never download any unknown attachments even with know extentions.
as far as i remember .pif is the rontokbro worm and the remedial actions can be found at symantec website. so dude go to symantec and find the remedy ... not a big problem at all
