How did you find this?  I looked at the bitmaps I downloaded a
few days ago, as well as the copies in my browser cache, and
find only normal bitmaps with normal contents.  In particular,
I don't find an HTML page containing the Dec28-1.BMP, but only
the bitmap itself, linked from:
 
  http://www.zetatalk.com/teams/rogue/shavas22.htm
 
In any case, HTML can't be virus code.  If it could, *every*
web page would be potentially dangerous.  And the HTM you quote
is certainly innocuous.
