There have been a few linkified viruses posted in the past. General knowledge however is that one shouldn't download an executable unless prepared for the consequences.
1. I downed it on a test laptop and disconnected it from my network.
2. Ran Mcafee Heuristics against it and came up clean.
3. Renamed the .exe to .test and used a 56k dial-up to send it through MessageLabs.
4. It came back to my network w/a clean bill of health.
5. Reconnected to the network and gave it a go while monitoring the firewall for suspicious data transfer.
So I played it. Pretty cool Demo. Freakin' incredible that 65k of good code can do SOOOOOOO much multimedia!
Impressive to say the least.
