Look, apparently this is not the list for me to be on. All I was trying 
to do at first was find B to analyze. Then I tried to provide it to 
people via email but that quickly escalated past what I could 
personally handle by myself. Then I gave the URL to the list and now we 
have this fine mess. McAfee was just trying to give me a friendly nudge 
that what I did was probably not the best method of distribution. So 
try to not harbor any ill will towards them, they were just trying to 
do their job. I overreacted and it would seem this situation would 
dearly like to spiral out of control. I never wished to drag people I 
know needlessly into a pissing match. Nor did I ever wish to intend to 
make this variant more active in the wild.

If you are mirroring the files I had previously hosted please take them 
down from your sites and distribute them via email only if at all 
possible. Posting the virus to a URL on this list means it ends up on 
the web archive which means it shows up in Google which means any Tom, 
Dick, or Jane can download the live virus. So if you wish to help 
others email is the way I suggest.

Anyways, I'm going to shut the hell up now for a while and hope that 
what sanity is left can prevail here.
