Some time ago there was a short discussion about the program called ICE. Some
people stated that it could contain a virus. When I got the program, I was a
little bit surprised because the changes been recorded were so minimal. After
I heard the virus warning I almost threw it away, but curiosity won: I checked
the program with DOS's comp ( and PC Tools ) and found that only differencies
between version 1.13c and 1.14 were those texts displayed on screen when
executed without parameters. And of course the names of the ICErchives and
that movin' ball when melting files.

( That moving bulk was so attractive that I patched it to my own version of 
  LHArc! ;=) )
