I doubt that Activeworlds Inc. would send you that so it's probably a virus,
although I could be wrong so I plead the fifth of whiskey. ;)

Oh, and also it's obvious (I think) that powerpoint don't use pif as file
extension either. PIF was supposed to be some kind of command files for
MSDOS so that probably make it good candidate for spreading virus, since
MSDOS was still used to some extent as ways to execute the commands, at
least from its beginning to the Windows XP (though, on lesser basis but
still a core part of the Windows XP but I could be wrong). However, I might
be wrong so I'll let others answer that for you.

Ok, everyone. All who thinks it is virus says "Aye", all others thinks
otherwise says "Nay".

Unfortunately it's a virus, there probably is no such email for awi. I have
a domain and it gets spoofed with such viruses using email addresses that
don't actually exist on my domain. If awi were to offer you a job I'd bet
they would not include an attachment ... especially without letting you know
it's coming first.

Don't open *any attachments* unless you are expecting something specific
from someone you know!

It is a valid email. But would never contact you unless you applied for a
job, and even then would probably be rick or jp who responded via their own
accounts.

Okay. Simple briefing; even if its a trusted name/email, never open
anything from a .pif, .scr, .exe... so thats out, its' really obvious its a
V I R U S. Or, in other terms, someone wants some infos to your AW acct(s),
worlds, whatever you have.

I'm just guessing that it's probably a worm. I've been getting a lot of
supposedly legit worm e-mails recently.

Email worm!

I don't really think it's a worm. I think it's a watermelon. Y'see, it's a
little know fact that you can hide an entire watermelon from real life
inside an electronic email. (there's a trick to it) Then when you least
expect it, usually during when your children are on your computer, somehow a
trigger is touched and you got seeds and slush everywhere. Thank God that
today's kids have enough sense to take a paper towel and wipe it up (and
across the keyboard too...jamming watermelon beneath the [enter] key)....but
that's ok....why? because we have ants. Those little buggers can find the
smallest piece of watermelon..they're amazing....they'll clean it out for
ya. Then when they are all done, out the door they go, back into their
little holes in the garden where they reside with the worms. WORMS!
OMG...maybe I have a worm!
