The latest version included a very nasty surprise.
They mutated the DNSRelay variant (number 8 at the site above) to include a hosts file hijack, including these lines:
O1 - Hosts: 64.135.204.60 spywareinfo.com
O1 - Hosts: 64.135.204.60
www.spywareinfo.com
O1 - Hosts: 64.135.204.60 lavasoftsupport.com
O1 - Hosts: 64.135.204.60
www.lavasoftsupport.com

Effectively disabling people from downloading HijackThis and CWShredder from their normal download-links and getting support at some of the most renowned anti-spyware-forums.

If you experience problems downloading both these programs and fear you have been hit by this hijack, please use this link:
