Default MacMillan "Aviation English for ICAO Compliance" Cd contains avirus/trojan

There are two cds with this book "Aviation English for ICAO
Compliance" ISBN 979-0-230-02757-2, the cd of the book contains a
virus/trojan in \data\Start.exe apparently the "Win32/heur" virus.
I've informed the publishers but received no reply so far.

Putting the cd in a machine with autorun on will automatically install
the software and run the virus containing file at the end of the
installation.

The file can't be cleaned AFAICT and, if the fil is removed, the
software doesn't install properly
