lol, technically it's your fault if you get infected with a Bropia variant, everyone should know that you should not open files with unknown extension, expecially not .pif files !

No ? It spreads through files, not display pictures. Read the link you gave, it says

It sends a message to you in which you have to accept to download the file (.pif or .scr) before it can get on your computer. It doesn't spread through display pictures, there is no way it can.

it was an _possible_ exploit. Nothing more (well take that "nothing more" with a grain of salt, IF such a virus truely existed it would have been devestating)

I got the virus, what it does is this, Mine was webcam.gif i think
and when u accept it your msn freezez and if you go to my recived files, its a ms dos program, DO NOT OPEN  delete it, also
it makes your status on msn busy, on the day i got the virus, there were tons of peple busy on msn, so it does that and when it sends itself the person sending it cannot reply. I have a qestion also, if i accept the file and i have nortan antivirus 2004. will it help?

If your virus definations are up to date, and Norton does reconize it, then yes...
