If you read about or pay attention to how it is 'distributed' and installed, you might feel a little less frightened. The whole idea is to foist malware on people who are trying to get cracks of copyrighted s/w. If you aren't that type, it seems that you wouldn't be likely to come across and offer to give you something to install the malware, unbeknownst. -- Mike Easter
