The message that pops up to say the file doesn't work means that you
just successfully installed it.  The next time you boot up it will
activate and start mailing itself to others and opening a backdoor for
hackers to get into your system.  Better get rid of it.  Instructions
can be found here:

It's apparently making the rounds of all the email lists.
