Viruses were using the highly powerful .pif extension to spread viruses via MSN Messenger, mostly famously Burpia. The MSN Messenger team were forced to react quickly and blocked the .pif with other extensions from being sent in conversation windows. However, the .pif extension could be used within links, so for added sercuity you can't view anything containing 'pif' in your conversations.
