This evening I recieved an e-mail from this list with a
.PIF file attached.  My Norton AntiVirus with a virus definition
file did not catch this file, and neither did a system scan until
I rescanned with the "Scan all files" option checked.

Bottom line, I caught the W32.Badtrans.B@mm virus.  You
can read details at:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.ht
ml

Following those instructions, I finally removed the beast.

So beware of PIF files, as well as the normal exe's and vbs'.

Chris (Now more careful with strange file extensions)
