DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK

It starts an automatic download to your downloads folder. This is not the behaviour you would expect in a Malware program. I would be very, very, very cautious with a program like this.

(Yes, that will teach me to click on anything that appears on the screen)

And heaven protect us from Mac Malware programs. They are worse than the real thing.
