There appears to be very little information so far on this likely Bropia variant (possibly .N?) but so far I've found it can do one of 3 things when you first clicked the .PIF Link.
1- It will immediately close all FireFox and IE windows without notice, then God knows what else.
or
2- It will display a picture of a half naked handcuffed girl, send the link to others in your MSN contact list, then God knows what else.
or
3- It will open a website with a broken image, asking you to Run 'something' to view the picture, then God knows what else
Some reported symptons after any of the above so far include:
-CHKDSK no longer able to run.
-WINDOWS RESTORE no longer able to restore.
-ANTI VIRUS/ANTI SPYWARE/FIREWALL software mysteriously being Disabled.
-MSN Signing In and Out "on its own".
-Some users reported being that they're no longer able to connect to the internet.
