A little common sense goes a long way here folks. If you receive any
attachment ending in .pif, .scr  trash it without opening. If you
receive an attachment ending in .xls or .zip,  contact the supposed
source to verify they sent it to you, what it is and whether it's of
value to you before you open it.
Viri do not come from the address supposedly sending it to you  (the
"from" column). If the person is ligit, send a note asking for
verification that they sent you the file.
Time consuming perhaps but nothing like the time you'll spend
rebuilding or disinfecting your system.
