I have tried scanning the file with ClamAV and F-Prot and neither of 
them find it, I've hidden it well enough. It was one of my greatest 
concerns too. Try downloading it before complaining, you might well find 
you don't have a problem.

It's in the latest beta. Try downloading it and tell me what happens.
