I've gotten 5 emails today all carrying a virus with .pif or .doc as the
file name extension but that are actually executables. The emails all say
something like "I send you this file in order to have your advice" except
for one which appears to be a mail bounce notice

They have been posted by
142.177.77.1 = hlfx27-1.ns.sympatico.ca
195.80.173.138 = collak.profi.sk mailto:postmaster@profi.sk
200.52.208.19 = customer-VER-208-19.megared.net.mx
mailto:grosado@megared.com.mx
194.29.160.2 = elektron.elka.pw.edu.pl mailto:postmaster@pw.edu.pl

Let me know if anyone else get these and NEVER open an attachment that you
didn't expect to receive or that you don't know is not a program. PIF and
DOC can be programs just as easily as EXE, COM, VVS.
