Recent reports include a worm that spreads by the imageXX.zip filename (eg. image13.zip) and drops rpmsvc.exe when the imageXX.JPG-www.photobucket.com inside the zip file is executed. The file transfer is usually preceded by one of the following messages:

>> You can find a complete list here.

If you're one of the unfortunate victims that accepted the transfer and opened it, here are the removal instructions:

1) Run regedit.exe and delete the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"Remote Terminal Service" = "rpmsvc.exe "

2) Restart Windows.

3) Delete the virus files:

%System%\rpmsvc.exe (Read-only, System, Hide attribute)
%temp%\imageXX.zip

Another worm dubbed Warezov.* (or Stration) is spreading through the following link: and triggers the download of photo.exe. So whatever you do, don't!
