Thanks for the reply. I too have seen it in a number of groups. I have
since checked the file again (unzipped) with F-Prot on Linux, still no joy.

I have seen someone reply to the post too, stating something along the

Probably just a bit of social engineering or somebody's idea of a joke.

Cordially,
