My copy of Mcafee doesn't flag it. I tried it out, and it's the 'tegosoft
downloader', for getting and running a small VB program that creates the
animation and the music to go with it. Basically you get what looks like a
GIF animation running in time with a very retro soundcard version of
something close to 'Surfin' USA'. Tegosoft downloader is a bit old hat now,
but was used by some sites to deliver programs on demand.

It downloads a CAB file to your temp folder with the data in it. Being
originally from 8BS, I guess it's from the days of modem connections and
saving bandwidth.
