Program Information Files (PIFs) are special files used by Windows to access MS-DOS applications. When Trojan Remover encounters a PIF it analyses the file to determine the nature and location of the target application. If the application can be found it is scanned for Malware.

 

The options available when a PIF Alert is displayed depend on where the PIF is loaded from and whether or not the target application could be located. The options are similar to those for other types of alert, but also allow for the renaming of the target application if it exists.
