Virus warning (admin response)

VIRUS - VIRUS - VIRUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY Free version of A-Squared antivirus found a nasty virus attatched to
BASIN AND RANGE FILE THAT I HAVE JUST RECENTLY DOWNLOADED from this web site!!!!
Its called " HeuroisticArchive.bomb"
I was having all kinds of eratic issues with my computer and decided to scan. It found a few minor things. This one alerted me because of the fact
that I am not connected to internet with my own PC. I go to the Public
Library and download any files and info onto my USB flash drive.
The antivirus on my Flash drive and on my personal computer that I normally use is AVAST! It didn't catch it.
I just happened to think to do a deep scan on my computer at home with a different antivirus to to see what it would catch.
The odd thing is that I keep them updated by downloading (dangerously)
the updates and update at home. And just as recently as last weeek.
The A-Suared program that I caught worms, viruses, and trojans with that Avast didn't catch were on a Maximum PC magazine disk that came with the magazine I bought last year. It hasn't even been updated yet.
SO EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION !!!!!!!
How and where it got attached to Basin & Range file I don't know, but you all need to be aware of it and maybe someone who is responsible for this web site should temporarily pull it off until it can be resolved.
I am not angry, or surprised.
I do not hold any of you guys responsible.
I have been thouroughly enjoying all of the KICKIN' maps & mods that you guys create. They are all awesome.!!!!
I would Like to thank you all.
Thanks for reading.
