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 .

If you know the LNK file (Which is a link to a file or folder), then PIF is a link to a DOS application.
It is usually generated when you run DOS application by double click on the EXE or CMD file
If you got this PIF file on e-mail, it is a virus
Also if you got SCR file, it is a virus in most cases

Don't run it, especially when it arrives unsolicited in your email. Bad things happens.
