Hi,
We haven't either - as far as pif files goes - because according to my
records, all pif's recieved thus far - have been virus related - and
therefore have been automatically deleted by Nav... However, as I stated
earlier - we (our organization) - has enough to worry about, than which
filename is good or bad, whereby any filename of any extension - could
contain a virus!
There's more to protection than AV software and deleting unwanted files.
But that's for another time of discussion!
Regards
Mike
