Awesome. Glad the old school hacker hasn't died.

Just to put this into perspective: 4Kb is the size of an Icon on your desktop!! :O

Holy cow! I rate they should do this to Lost Odyssey. Ha ha, they could probably cram it onto a CD!

Are you using avg? If so then this is almost definitely a false positive. AVG doesn't like demoscene stuff.

It gets flagged by anti-virus programs because the executable edits its own instruction stack. That's typical of extremely compressed and fractal systems like space-conscious demos. It's not a virus in the slightest.

I am wondering if this could in-fact change computing forever, think of the compression of textures, that would be extracted from a capture of video.

Unfortunately, unless I'm mistaken, it's not quite as easy as a simple compression algorithm run over the resources. I takes a lot of work on behalf of the developers to make something like this. So I don't think it'll be changing computing anytime soon.
