I forgot to mention: Using the "app path" method suffers the same security 
risk as what I quoted in the above quote.  If you "app path" a program and I 
drop a program of the same name in any folder on the PATH than my program, 
instead of yours, will run.

IOW, They have "spotted a problem" and just stopped thinking.

At least, I hope that that is what happened, and not yet another ... person 
who enjoys maliciously trolling others.
