This doesn't change anything, but BO is not a virus, nor in any way related
to one.  And a trojan horse can't 'infect' the files...either the files are
trojan horses or not.

Just terminology I guess.  Also, I haven't heard of BO working in any way
other than straight trojan...so either the haskell files work as haskell (in
which case no BO) or they're BO.  Should be very easy to verify which is the
case :)  It's possible there are versions of BO that can 'infect' other
files, but I haven't heard of them...BO at least pretends to be a real system
administration tool, not a weapon.
