New MSN worm?

Just arrived home, had four persons on my MSN contact list who had sent me the following messages:
"LOOK! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':O'-smiley at the end.)
"LMFAO! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':P'-smiley at the end.)
"rofl! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':D'-smiley at the end.)

I tried to wget the file, but got a 404. chello.nl has probably already dealt with the problem,
at least on their own servers, but you can never be sure...
Thus, I haven't been able to get the .pif and try to disassemble it or check the contents,
and after a quick googling I haven't found anything that matches this new (?) virus/worm.

Anyone else knows about this and if there's any spyware remover / antivirus that fixes the problem?
