The Bropia.F worm, a variant of the Bropia.A worm detected last month, was raised to a medium-risk threat this week by antivirus firm Trend Micro.

The worm propagates by sending a copy of itself under different file names -- including "bedroom-thongs.pif", "hot.pif" and "naked-drunk.pif" -- to all available or online contacts on an infected user's MSN Messenger list. It also sends and executes a file titled "sexy.jpg", which carries the image of a headless, plucked chicken sunbathing, replete with pronounced bikini tan lines.
