Hoax Warnings

SHEEP.EXE is a program which creates a cute animation of a little sheep which wonders around the screen, eats, sleeps, jumps etc. There were several widespread warnings that this program was a trojan or a virus, but after SHEEP.EXE and SCMPOO16.EXE samples were analysed, the program was found innocent. However, during the analysis the original Japanese author of this program was contacted, and it was found out that SHEEP.EXE is a commercial program, and should not be passed on between users.
