Bropia.A, a new MSN Messenger worm on the loose!
Added January 21, 2005

Based on numerous reports, a new virus seems to be propagating itself rapidly through MSN Messenger. When received and executed by the victim, the worm places itself in the C directory with a random filename like: sexy_bedroom.pif, drunk_lol.pif, naked_party.pif, webcam_(random number).pif, love_me.pif and similar looking names. It then automatically sends itself to active MSN Messenger contacts.

If you receive a file transfer request for such a file, press ALT-D or click Decline. Don't ever execute the file. If you did, delete the file immediately and permanently from your system (My Received Files and C drive) and take necessary security measures. For more information, visit F-Secure.
