As we already said, the win32 build for VLC is done on Linux, thus making it 
very unlikely that a win32 virus will end-up in our win32 package.

Secondly, as you might have noticed, the VLC executable is strangely not in 
the list of your infected files ;)

And lastly, this is the only report I've seen about the VLC 0.7.1 package 
being infected even though it has already been downloaded by about 500000 
users (according to the web-site stats).
