To the newbies: Don't install it. It is infected.

A few things:

1)  Many folks (like myself) don't even see these posts, as they're 
filtered before they hit my local news server.  Binary stuff in a 
non-binary group kinda raises a red flag, yanno.

2)  Most anybody who would install this thing isn't going to check for 
followups to the post before downloading and running the thing.

3)  Your post didn't really need to quote the whole freakin' message, 
including whitespace at the bottom.  It's considered proper netiquette 
to trim what you quote to just what you're responding to.

4)  A:  The most annoying thing on usenet.
    Q:  What's top-posting?

I should say, though, your wish to want to warn and help folks before 
they ran in to problems was commendable.
