Anybody been brave (or stupid) enough to actually install this?
Personally I'm not anxious to run into a Trojan, but I wouldn't mind a
free shoot'emup, if thats' what this really is.

It's a circa 1993 game, MSDOS based.

The "questionable" version appears identical except (of course) for the
executable, where it's now:

Smaller (27K verses the original 58K)
It's now called Xenon2setup.exe instead of the original Xenon2.exe.
It's now majically a win32 executable, where it used to be a DOS exe file.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out it's a virus, trojan or both.

but I wouldn't mind a free shoot'emup, if thats' what this really is.
The official Xenon2 game can be download freely, (google xenon2 and you
should find at least a couple of sites that have it available for download).

Note that one site claims is a windows 95,98,2000,ME,XP game, but they're
wrong, it's very definitely a DOS game.

As yourself "Why would somebody repeatedly post something like this to
just about every newsgroup on Usenet, every one of which it is
off-topic?" "Why is it the ONLY file available at that URL and why
isn't there even a website at the URL?"

If that doesn't sound suspicious to you, you're probably already
infected with several viruses and trojans spread by "free" stuff
offered by using "social engineering" tactics of this sort.
