If you have Java Runtime on your system, attempting to view the above-named thread, causes a download of a .jar file that my McAfee Enterprise version virus detection software detects and disables as a Trojan threat. I have no idea what's up, but I suggest that no one view the "GAAP" thread thread, and that if you already have, that you run a complete scan of your system for any virus that may have found its way into your computer.
I've been getting a few of these "java .jar" trojans lately too... Not sure from where tho. Haven't been to that thread I don't think.
i too clicked that link. just did a free online panda activescan http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm 4 "viruses" were detected and removed. (i just did a scan several days ago and was clean at that time) all viruses were "ByteVerify". Panda says: "ByteVerify is a vulnerability, not a virus. The only way to know if your computer is vulnerable is to find out the installed versions of affected programs. ByteVerify is a vulnerability in the Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM), which allows malicous code to run when a malicious Java Applet is loaded.
