I'd be more than willing to take it apart if you want to PM me a link to where you downloaded the file. The file hosted here is assuredly clean -- there's nothing in it that could be dangerous.

A good example of an addon that has a non lua, xml, toc file in it is EpicMusicPlayer which has a .bat file in it, but as it's been said if a file that is infectable is detected it's reverse engineered to double check, WoWI admins wanna make sure no file ruins their rep
