Daniel and Mike, thanks for making those files available for those of us 
who wish to research this virus firsthand, instead of relying on 
(sometimes) wildly innacurate media and "expert" reporting.

Shame on McAfee for succeeding in intimidating a fellow researcher - I 
guess that's what happens when viruses become Big Business; use whatever 
FUD is available to limit your competitio, increase market share and 
maximize shareholder value. Foo.
