I'm glad you asked this question and were modest enough to only cross
post to four different test groups. You were fortunate, however, in
having the insight to post to comp.software.testing. One of our most
common discussion threads here is how to test software for viruses and
explosives from the Middle East. Indeed, the very software you mention
is known to have originated from a Hezbollah front operating out of
the Bekaa valley in Lebanon.
You may wish to contact your local Dutch police authorities about this
attempt to abuse an innocent bystander such as yourself. I am sure
they will be as thorough in pursuing this terrorist software threat as
they are in suppressing the use of heroin and cocaine locally in the
Netherlands.
