Hey, at least on the 2x00's, with the MP3 capability, you could call it
something like "Daily Detox" (after the herbal tea that purports to purge
toxins from your system) and play the sounds one might expect to hear from
someone who's had way too much of that tea... if you know what I mean. :-)
*imagines sounds captured from an 'epic' scene in "Dumb and Dumber" playing
while Newt flashes "Now cleansing system!"*
I bet the powers-that-be would only bother to check on your anti-viral
software ONCE.
