Don't want to show my geekness too much but just an FYI for everyone, and
maybe to put some minds at ease -- You can download it, save it, copy it,
move it, or whatever you want, JUST DON'T RUN IT! That's when it does its
thing, when it is executed... So unless you run the thing you aren't
infected.
