I received a file named Book3_26.xls.pif in my mail. I suspect this to be a virus because of the way the filename is masked to show up as an excel sheet in default windows installs.
Hi! How are you=3F
I send you this file in order to have your advice
See you later=2E Thanks
This virus/worm, has infected one of the computers on my LAN and sends an email to everyone in addressbook. The text containing the mail is the same, but the attachment name keeps changing. A Mc Afee scan does not detect it.

I used the antivirus as available on www.symantec.com to clean the virus off from one of the machines on my lan.

Well, I have a better mechanism. I don't get affected by viruses.
I don't want to remove the virus anyway. What fun would that be? I'm adding it to my zoo.

My mail servers have been backed up with hundreds of infected mails in the queue. I installed the new McAfee DAT files for Linux today and immediately most of the queue was stopped dead by Amavis (mail virus scanner). The latest update does find W32.Sircam.
