    This virus was noticed and reported 15 days ago, yet many antivirus solutions have been releasing patches up until yesterday.

    The virus is harmless really, and actually quite good from a design point of view for those that understand the work involved. Its called W32.Bropia.M.

    More info here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com....bropia.m.html

    it's unlikely anything has happened without you agreeing to an install of some nature. of which time ad-ware has probably been the source of the problem, or a virus infection of some kind. Simply opening msn messenger doesn't spring open a virus without any prior underlaying issues.

    you have to accept, download and open the attachment from a messenger contact - it is not all automatic. Even my 13 year old sister knows not to accept such files from messenger contact
