Short for Program InFormation file, a type of file that holds information about how Windows should run a non-Windows application. For example, a PIF file can contain instructions for executing a DOS application in the Windows environment. These instructions can include the amount of memory to use, the path to the executable file, and what type of window to use. PIF files have a .pif extension .
Almost all of the .pif files you get from the internet are virusses.
Another populair extension for virusses is .scr (screensaver). But the problem with scr is that normal screensavers also have the extension scr, so only execute scr files if you absolutly trust the file and it's creator.
And of course exe files
. Never ever execute exe files you don't know or don't trust.

Here is a special item on someone's weblog about the webcam_015 shit:
