[QCLUG] Virus in Ubuntu

[Mark Riedesel]

Yeah, I visited the antivirus-scanner.com site and it did a neat
little animated virus checker thing and then popped up a list of
infections, then tried to coax me into downloading a neato exe file
which is infected with..

 *drum roll*

the Downloader.Win32.Fraudload virus!

So, yes, definitely a site to avoid, and no, you're not infected with
any viruses :-)
