What is it?
W32/Bropia.worm.p is a Medium Risk Internet worm carried by an MSN Messenger attachment. When run, the worm tries to display a .jpg image from a remote site and prevent users from manually using Windows Task Manager to remove the threat.
What should I look for?
The worm copies itself into the C:\ directory using filenames like:
Beautiful A**.pif
John Kerry as Super Chicken.scr
Kool.pif
Me & you pic!.pif
How do I find out more?

Update: Mydoom Returns
Two more serious Mydoom mass-mailing worms, W32/Mydoom.bc@MM and W32/Mydoom.bd@MM, are now Medium Risk threats. They carry the BackDoor-CEB.f Trojan, which tries to disable anti-virus updating and also help a remote user hijack an infected machine.
Watch out for attachments inside messages posing as bounces from Postmaster or Mail Administrator.
