It appears to be. It downloads as a ".zip", and "unzip -l" (on
unix) shows that it contains a ".exe" file which could be either Windows

..exe's are also used/run in OS/2. Of course the OS calls are different.

virii. Something that claims to be a sound file, but contains strings
like "This program cannot be run in DOS mode!" is a pretty good clue
that it truly is a virus. (Unlikely in this case, of course.)


Things like GLURP.JPG.EXE are used to spoof windows users since the
default browser setup only shows the first extension. Why am I not
surprised?

Of course, DoN knows this but others might not.
