And you are unhappy ???

My father has a saying:

   "Don't go looking for trouble,
    it will find you soon enough."

Unless you have a test environment that is off the web,
please don't go opening up stange files...

However, in this case i would suspect that SuSE
or one of the ISP's stripped out the virus,

IAE, i hope so ... if not maybe a re-install 
would be a good idea --- especailly if your machine
is dual boot ...

There is also a Urban Lengend that the anti-virus people
update their dat files as soon as they hear of new virus --
just so people feel good --- however,in some cases it
may take them a while before they actually have a fix.

You might want to try again running your virus scan.
