Some of you may have had contacts on your msn list try to send you files such as:

"Beautiful Ass.pif, John Kerry as Super Chicken.scr, Kool.pif, Me & you pic!.pif, Me Pissed!.pif, sexy.pif, She Could Fit her Ass in a Teacup.pif, she's f***in fit.pif, titanic2.jpg.pif"

This is an msn virus trying to send itself to others through MSN Messenger. If you have seen people trying to send you any of those files (unknowingly - the virus sends these files itself without the "sender" knowing) please check the link below for more information and removal instructions.

my sister sits on msn for like 6 hrs and someone sends it to her then bla bla bla. i get f***ed over

I got sent one of these the other day but didnt accept it. .. is my computer free? =S
i thought it was sus as... plus when i closed the box it didnt come up with the "you are about to end all current activities with this person" thingy ma bob.

well i have run the that exe. and it says that i don't have it on my computer or all 3 infact. when i know for a fact it is because there are still those files in c:
wtf do i do now.

There is also a new version of messenger 6.2 (6.2.0205) that corrects a exploitable buffer overflow.

i stupidly accepted it from a mate.

nothign wrong with the comp atm i updated to the newer version of msn a few days ago.

as if you'd accept .pif files

i really have to read up on my 'how to be a nerd' guide dont i?

as if you'd accept .pif files

I'll agree with that! Everyone should know by now scr and pif files are mostly viri. Bleh to hell with msn anyways, go trillian!!!!!!!!!

hey smashingpumpkin add me to your msn, grinspoon_rock_07@hotmail.com

teen has it also

lemme know when it's gone fubar and I'll unblock you

After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer

You'd think a billion dollar corporation that built not only the messenger program, but also the underlying operating system software .. would be more certain as to whether you 'have' to restart your computer or not, following such an update. Jesus.

hmm everyone on my list must not be that dumb i haven't had any random file transfers yet

bloody heardy's trying to send me s*** now :)

there was a virus a while ago that just wouldn't take no for an answer it'd keep requesting you accept it over and over and over until you accepted it. Then once you got infected, it even installed a nice little readme file on how to delete it. I lol'd at that msn "virus".

You'd think a billion dollar corporation that built not only the messenger program, but also the underlying operating system software .. would be more certain as to whether you 'have' to restart your computer or not

< 98 & ME would probably request a restart

not 10 miutes after I read this post nad I start getting BEAUTIFUL ASS from my 16 year old cousin :P

< 98 & ME would probably request a restart

Dude .. 98 & ME always need a restart. Sometimes the OS takes the initiative and does it for you when you're doing something important :)

Time to help the village idiot people!

I've got this worm.......its not doing anything to my computer but it still annoys me that its there. I have msn 6.7 so its not irratically sending files to everyone, but yeah its still there so does anyone know how to get rid of it?

I have W32.Bropia.M
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bropia.m.html

Those instructions are bull. If i try to run a system scan Norton picks the virus up, but it is unable to delete it. It just keeps telling me that i have the virus and it keeps going in a never ending loop which results in a restart.

So yeah should i just hope for a new virus removal tool from symantec?
The w32.Bropia and w32.Bropia.J removal tools dont remove the .M version.

as if you'd accept .pif files

I call em the .pfft files.

You'd think a billion dollar corporation that built not only the messenger program, but also the underlying operating system software .. would be more certain as to whether you 'have' to restart your computer or not, following such an update. Jesus.

you're a mr stupid head, you stupid head. :p

They say that because they can't possibly know what programs you're using at the time of installation, if you're using one that's locked a file the installer needs to update you'll either have to close it or reboot to let it update the file.
