this virus as affected millions of user Till now.. damn... and its self spreading.. damn!

There is a removal tool by Symantec:

URL: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven....removal.tool.html
Download: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FxBropia.exe

It says it removes "W32.Bropia, W32.Bropia.J and W32.Bropia.N".... That suggests there are more versions which won't be detected by this removal tool, but I'm sure about that...

It is spreading and spreading fast, about 3 people on my contact list have it already, what pisses me off is that they dont do anything about it

no you wanted to see a sexy ass dont lie

but anyways nobody on my list has it because i havnt got that message yet but when i do (and i know i will sometime) wow im gonna tear that contact to shreds for accepting it in the first place

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.

Ok first off, there's no need to rub it in(Segosa already did) ... but i got the virus
It installs an RBot variant, disables AV, shows a pic of a handcuffed girl, sends the link to everyone online, then closes MSN. I checked my startup folder and it has new entries: wini.exe and winis.exe. There's also a new process running, guess...wini.exe.

I already successfully removed RBot but i think it also installed a bropia variant . Now here's the weird part (and it got confirmed by a friend who sent me handcuffs...): sometimes, when typing a message, msn completely freezes (and it says doesn't react in taskmanager), then after a few minutes, it unfreezes again.

Ive got these on my pc.
