RE: new virus
I'd test it on a virtual machine and find out what it does, but I really can't be bothered right now :/
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Sounds like a Bropia variant (this originally was send as a file with .pif extension with default MS Dos icon).

RE: new virus
I recommend everyone who opened it to change your password.. Someone told me that when you open it you password will be send in an e-mail to someone :S  have no idea if this is true but I thought I'd better tell here.. (If anyone knows more about this than tell)

I didn't open it because 3 persons gave me the link and all 3 did go offline after giving the link so..  also 2 of them normaly never talk to me so another reason to not open it :P

Stupid "virus things on msn"   Some people realy need to get a life :dodgy:

The virus signs off the user, not because it has the password (afaik)
