OMG this is... a virus!
OMG this is... a virus!

Judging from the reports, a probable new Bropia variant [see UPDATE #3] is spreading over MSN Messenger like wildfire. If you receive a message similar to: "omg this is funny!" followed by a hyperlink to cute.pif (located at a random domain) do NOT click the link and inform the sender he or she is infected. You can take it as a general rule never to accept or click .pif files.

UPDATE: Sorry for double-posting this. Like Sean advised: "All messers should make sure their anti-virus software is up-to-date."

UPDATE #2: Kara reported the following variation to the message sent: "[domain.com/subdirectory/]omg.pif lol! see it! u'll like it"

UPDATE #3: Yup, it's a Bropia. T, this time, but the breed is better known as Kelvir.a. The text from UPDATE #2 is Kelvir.b. And a third one, Kelvir.c is sending parishilton.pif.

UPDATE #4: The one that comes with the message "haha look at us [domain.net]youandme.pif" is, surprisingly, called W32/Kelvir-D.
