Rather interesting, and now we at least know someone in the U.S. is affiliated with the malware writers, that could equal prison time or hefty fines if the person passing out the fliers is ever caught (unlikely).
At least now I have two more nefarious sites to block from what was listed in the report.

I was hoping Jaxryley would pop in and give a reference as I believe he found it but I am sure it is there somewhere but the malware purveyors are busier than cockroaches in an Bronx N.Y. tenement so it is hard to find at the moment.

From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.
They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!

That is crazy.... Malware writers are becoming more and more creative AND desperate. Watch your backs AND your fronts everyone.
There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.
