Question New virus?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but...

I just got this email, supposedly from administrator @ yahoo.com

[colour=blue]Dear user of "Yahoo.com" mailing system,

Our antivirus software has detected a large ammount of viruses outgoing from your email account, you may use our free anti-virus tool to clean up your computer software.

For details see the attach.

Cheers,

It comes with an attachment called message.pif

So I have a few questions...
[list=1][*]Why did it end in my BULK folder if it really came from Yahoo?[*]what's a PIF file?[*]what happened to the button they used to have to report spam?[*]Am I right to be suspicious?[*]Anyone else get this?[*]Who says "Cheers" in an important email?[/list=1]

TIA
