O.P. New Virus: W32/Sumom-A
Apparently there's a new virus spreading through MSN Messenger called W32/Sumom-A, or W32/Crog.worm, or W32.Serflog.A.

Info: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sumoma.html

If you check out the "Advanced" tab of that page, you'll see that the virus actually tries to pose as MsgPlus (Messenger Plus! 3.50.exe)... :dodgy:

Someone in my family actually downloaded this virus, and I couldn't identify it until just now. Fortunately it didn't do any damage because it wasn't executed under an admin account, this PC is pretty secure, and I noticed it right away. :p
