I have no time to rewrite it , The zipped file only contains a single *.rtf file and several *.jpg's to illustrate the idea that's all . If you are in a doubt you can check it with multiple anti malware software.
i don't mind at all if you want to rewrite it and post it here again , then go ahead

I know what the ZIP contains, and I've checked it with a few scanners.

However, the idea of this site is to make information and the solutions available to everyone. What if someone needs this solution and is behind a proxy denying archive downloads? What if they don't have an unzip utility? What if there's no RTF reader?

Interesting, tho, you did have enough time to respond and post links to online virus scanners, but not enough to copy-and-paste the contents of your file.
