W32/Bropia.worm.g AKA Winhost.exe

I'm 99% sure this is what JimT was using to hack people before. I just found this on my machine, and its been removed as of now.

This is a worm that propagates through MSN messenger and drops a variant of W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.t worm.

Go to that link at the top for more info.

PLEASE, EVERYONE check your registry for this entry, if its there, DELETE IT ASAP.
