Public News Can StarCraft Maps Carry Viruses?

I have been asking many people about strange things while being related with bnet or starcraft online. A few people have told me about a virus that strikes while they were trying to download a few simple starcraft maps online. They explained that if you are looking up certain maps or go to some certain starcraft websites, you could be a victom of the "Mystery Virus". I asked them what website was that gave them the virus and they replied that it could have been the website, but it was more the map that was carrying the virus itself. They told me that one person got the map on the disk and loaded it on their friends computer and the virus go them. The virus can also be downloaded via a simple SC game.

The main point is that there are some sick creeps who would hack into a map to spead a virus' through inocent peoples computers, watch out.

Some key details such as the name of the map/ maps and what type of virus it is are still trying to be confermed.
