First there was the 8MB install. Ooh, we said. That's a whopper. Then there was Bube, with its 100+ individual items of Malware, Spyware and Trojans. Ouch, we said. That'll hurt. After that came Adware that forced the .NET framework onto your PC (whether you wanted it or not), with a 65MB piece of frivolity. Er...hang on, we said. That kinda' sucks.

And now....it looks like the once (vaguely) happy, clappy world of Bittorrent is being invaded with the marketing campaign to end all marketing campaigns. A concerted effort to get everybody's favourite piece of advertising genius into your lives...Aurora.

Maybe the reason why install sites are so thin on the ground is because there aren't any. Not a lot, anyway. It was obvious that Aurora was getting onboard somehow, but no-one seemed quite sure where from. When I think back now, to all those Hijack This logs posted on security forums...the answer was staring us in the face. Do a random Google search for Nail.exe and Aurora.exe, check out the forums and see what reoccurs, time and time again:

btdownloadgui.exe, Otherwise known as Bittorrent.
