Anyone get this email virus thingy?

Just checked my business email account and I got like 20+ emails all saying: Your details, Re:that movie, Thank you!, Wicked screensaver, your application, etc. Attached to each one is <header>.pif file. All around 74 KB in size.

I thought that MS wasnt sent by email. I know 2 of the accounts sending it to me so I'm assuming those people got infected and sent my address and the virus to the other computers.

Anyone know what virus this is and if it needs to be opened to be activated or whatever.

TIA

Ah ****! Now its up to 30+ and one of the company sales email accounts kicked one back to me. Ok, who's up to helping jel fix this before he ends up not going home by 5 PM.

TIA
