I'm surprised that such an urbane, sophisticated man of the world such as
you would be taken in so readily. This "virus" according to the Symantec
Antivirus Research Center is a well-known hoax. Please see:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/buddylst.zip.html
<http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/buddylst.zip.html> for the gory
details on this one. Every warning like this that I've ever seen, and I've
seen a few, have been hoaxes.
