Its w32 funner. A worm that spreads using messenger and modifies the hosts files. Looks like the contact is trying to send you an attachment but its the worm trying to access.

best way is just to not accept file transferes for the time being, specialy not for files with funny extentions like .pif (this info is providing it's the worm that someone on my contact list had last week :p)

i got a worm a couple of weeks ago from a young friend of mine & that had it in the attachment, luckily my security picked it up asap, but my young friend has not been back on since, i rang & it seems as if their p/c is full of them, it actually came through messenger.

Doesn't come through an e-mail attachment it appears as if a contact on msn is trying to send you a file attachment.
