It's a script that installs a trojan. Yes, it also displays a picture
while it arranges for your machine to become a relay for spam, denial
of service attacks, and other such.

Kaspersky idents the trojan as Backdoor.Hackarmy.gen

I think we can expect to see a lot of uploads of variants of this in
the next few days. Apparently the new gambit (packing two functions
into one script, one of which obscures the other) has been an
effective way to get the gullible types to run the script.

Use the news.individual.net server and you don't get the message in the
first place. I wouldn't have even known about the spam if it wasn't for
your reply.
