There is currently a trojan going around, a supposed "Terrain bot" that is
from terbot.0catch.com. I was infected with it and the little #$%^& used my
acct and ftp server to distrobute another version of it called VWTViewer. If
you see eather one DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEM. VWTViewer i have deleted and have
changed all of my passwords, but DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES download
these. They are a real #$%^& to remove.

Its alway nice to see the word "matt" linked to this site enclosed in the
source code, then again it could really be just some guy called matt not the
"Terrorist" M a t t as he calls himself.

Never EVER run a program which is not from a trusted source! If there is a new program out, it is either from someone you trust, or wait till you see reports about it.
The terbot.0catch.com site was mentioned only in my ng (best of my knowledge) where you'd see an immediate response from several ppl that it is a backdoor trojan.
The webpage explicitly explains it is not the original program from the author (which indeed was a nice bot!) but an upload by a script kiddie.
