I too am getting about 150/day. Most insidious is one that has xxx.zip.pif
. For some reason, my virus checker seems to think that it is a ZIP file
(not a PIF). It knows that itb has a virus but won't delete it because it
is a "ZIP file". Very odd.

Be sure to use the right tag, guys, James is upset when we use the PIC tag..
