    ESET has discovered that since December it has been bundled with a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) component that has DDoS functionality turning a computer into a bot.

    I'm bumping this up hoping that someone who has elevated privileges at MajorGeeks will read this and ask the owners to look at it.

    I saw the (original?) ESET report on this some hours ago:
    Looks like Tim or Jim acted on it before the other sites - nice work :major

    I thought no one read my post and since we can't email Jim or Tim, my next step was to send emails to some of the other Moderators.

    An alternative would be to report your own Post ;)

    We can't email either of them now? Strange.
