When W32/Bropia.E runs it copies itself to the root of the C drive using one of these filenames:
  • me_2005.pif
  • LOL.scr
  • Webcam.pif
  • hahahaha.pif
  • naked_drunk.pif
  • sister.pif
The worm then drops a copy of W32/SDBot.DPH to the root of the C drive as:
  • cz.exe
The worm will then attempt to propagate via MSN by trying to initiate a file transfer using the file it dropped into the root of the C drive. The transfer must be accepted and the file run before the remote system can become infected, as Bropia.E does not utilise any automated execution techniques.
