I've worked with many viruses in the past, and on my system I see no evidence of a botnet neither in my resource usage, nor in my raw packet data that is going across the wire. If it had infected me I would have seen packets destined to some irc server more than likely among other things. I have no strange cpu usage, or wierd packets. I also did a registry scan by hand and with multiple anti malware and antivirus software. I just don't see any real evidence of infection. I hope someone else can validate this.
I can validate it, but for the people who are still so upset about missing launch day, what good would that do?
Just to be on the safe side, I double-checked the sha256 sums for the code on the download site against what I have here locally, and they match. That confirms that nobody has tampered with the download site, though not for a lack of trying:
# grep -i "root" /var/log/auth.log* | wc -l
