The Cloud
It seems malware authors are now taking advantage of "the cloud". I read about a similar type of malware on the pc side that it in itself does not do anything, so malware scanners don't flag it, however it downloads malware. The trick is to attach it to a program, so you download application A and get the downloader agent as well. Your malware scanner clears everything and you install it, then acting with the priviledges of application A, it downloads malware. Of course depending on your security software it may catch the download at that time. Even if it does you still have the original downloader program that will attempt to install malware again. It appears we are in just another type of arms race.

On a different note, DNT+ is working OK at TR and I can read/post with it turned on.
