This virus spreads very rapidly by taking advantage of chat media commonly used by users such as Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger and Skype by sending a message and attach a link to download a file that is engineered like an image file (JPG), but is actually a virus file been compressed with different sizes berdeda tegantung the variant that infects the computer. The compressed file has an exe extension.
