No. I did a search (Easynews makes it easy) and found it posted in
alt.binaries.x on 28 June.
I didn't dl it either.
There's ALSO a series of 76KB posts in alt.binaries.boneless and
alt.binaries.cracks naming the same application; these are the same as
the tens of thousands of similar or identical virus postings that have
been appearing all over usenet for months. They're .exe or .scr files
contained in .rar's or .zip's.
