Clearly it took them a couple months to code that php file. :P

EDIT:  And they didn't even set up a htaccess rewrite to get rid of the php in the file name... these guys suck.

It's probably some 12 year olds showing off to their friends that they learnt a bit of php, that's the only reason that somebody would create a virus, it's just lame.
