notsp: RISKS v28 is75 is malware

Today my Avast antiviral became convinced that the July 7 issue of the RISKS 
Forum Digest is malware, and quarantined it.

Since the first article in this particular Digest is the excellent summary of the 
"Keys Under Doormats" report, and since there has recently been evidence that 
the NSA has been trying to install backdoors into antiviral software, is it possible 
that the NSA is using it's backdoor to try and suppress access to this paper?  Just a 
thought.

(If so they are sloppy: Web access to http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/28.75.html is 
unimpaired.)
