A new MSN Worm

[The-Insider]

Are viruses attracted to me specifically or it happens to everyone and they just don't notice or say nothing about it. It getting really hard to speak with people using instant messengers and to be sure it is them sending you a message and not a virus.

Before i begin, let's notice a few close viruses :)
This: http://www.cisrt.org/enblog/read.php?106
Is a different one, older one from July. Reported and still not fully detected by vendors.

Now for the painful part, this:

a little older variant that was covered in June!!! that is 5 month ago!! the detection rates were nasty, they still are as you will see afterwards...
The point I don't get is why don't AV vendors take care of the missed detections at least AFTER some security researcher publishes an analysis?!

I got a message from a friend who is currently having a trip in thailand and i was amazed to see that his computer sent me a message with a link with my msn email in it. I clicked the link and here a file download prompt pops up and the file name is: "virus-PIC006.JPG-www.myspace.exe".
Well, as tired as i may be, i would never be THAT tired to execute it :)

I wanted to write it all here, but "House Of Hackers" has some "post size" limitations so the full version can be found at:
