It is said ......
"It is an executable. That is what shows up for me and not a Data file.
It shows as an Unknown file type 2.06 mb and as soon as I try and
download the file all kinds of alarms go of on this server.
Did you execute the file? If anybody did let me know what you found
after running your malware tools.
This is the link which is the cause of controversy (now obfuscated)

It came from a Yahoo Groups 'joke' group and what *I* see is simply a
'video' explaining an interesting word/riddle. (a 'wmv')
I'm not so sure that any file was actually downloaded to my computer but
would be interested to take advice on this. I'm not certain how to check
(but I did *not* have to 'approve' anything!)
