Warning about dropbox virii

Warning!



There are virii in the dropbox.



Steve is trying to keep them out, but the following five came in since



2:00 PM today. (It is now about 9:10 PM.)

He just finished deleting the following ones:



thank_you.pif document_all.pif your_details.pif your_document.pif wicked_scr.scr



Note that for *any* file on the dropbox with a ".pif" extension, or a ".scr" extension (as well as a ".exe" extension) -- *Don't* download it. It is almost certainly a virus.



His system tries to block them, but somehow some sneak through.



Beware!



Good Luck, DoN.


I keep meaning to reinstall windows (been meaning to for a few years now). Are there any real uses for PIF files any more? I do recall them being almost mandatory for win 3.1.
