It's very easy to delete those files. Restart the computer. While restarting, press F8 repeatedly. Then you will get a list containing different options. From that list select Safe mode with command prompt. When you come to command prompt, go to the root of the drive which is having the extention.pif file, then give the command "dir .pif /s /a" where filename is the name of infected file. This will give you the path of the file. Then go to the directory where the file is located & give these commands:

dir .pif /a (then press enter)

attrib -s -h -r .pif (press enter)

del .pif (press enter)

If this will not help then boot with clean bootable CD or floppy. Then try the above commands.
