This is a bad thing I happened to bump into today.
The people at openwares.org are apparently offering open sourced software with mal or spyware included. The guys at methlabs.org developing peerguardian for one have come across tampered versions of their open source software.
Even download.com has falled for this trap, and is distributing a contaminated version of peerguardian. If you didn’t get your version from methlabs.org but another download location, you can check if you are running a good version by using these pages. The detailed step by step test can be found there linked to at the bottom of the page.
This is just bad, bad, bad.
