Guess what!

This virus deleted over 400 Microsoft Word and Excel files for me. It
also went after .asm .h .c files. The 206KB zipped.exe file then cloned
itself into a _setup.exe file and parked itself into the operating
system.

My guess is that this is a military grade virus designed to trigger
Manchurian Candidates possibly even from within Microsoft and aimed at
the Open Source community. Or else it was the other way around.
