Yes, got the same thing.
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.
Seems as it could be a worm (nice file ending!), but it there's no file there. And there weren't any hidden urls in the msn protocol. Maybe it's just a hoaxe. For me, there's absolutely no sense in it!
Anyone else knows about this and if there's any spyware remover / antivirus that fixes the problem?
No, but it remembers me me to a small application that I recieved last year which did something similarly to that. greets, me! -- Film would be nothing without music; music is everything without film!
