"Besides harassing MSN Messenger users, the Bropia worm seems to be pestering antivirus companies time and time again with new variants.

With modifications turning up at this rapid rate, counting each variant using a letter from the alphabet doesn't look like a good idea anymore. We suggest naming them after bad Stephen Baldwin movies. Plenty of those...

The latest in the chain is WORM_BROPIA.F (also known as W32/Bropia.worm.g, W32/Bropia.J and Bropia.E) which spreads mainly in Korea, China, Taiwan, and the United States through automatically initiated MSN Messenger file transfers of any of the following files:

Bedroom-thongs.pif
Hot.pif
LMAO.pif
LOL.scr
Naked_drunk.pif
New_webcam.pif
ROFL.pif
underware.pif
Webcam.pif

Depending on your system configuration and file associations, the transfer shows the classic MS-DOS windows icon (pictured to the right) or an unknown file icon (the blank piece of paper one). It stops propagating if the victim uses only Windows Messenger because those file transfers simply fail.

Quite a surprise, this worm also drops and loads the file SEXY.JPG in the root folder, which pictures what's probably the ultimate fantasy partner of the worm's creator: a naked chick with tanlines."

So yeah. Don't accept the above.

That's funny, I just asked the missus if she loved me and the answer was "Pff.".
