  No... it can be trusted... but people are abusing the trust... because of this trust... people are infected.
  
  The 2 affected programs have NEVER BEEN posted on Download.com. Rather, they have been created by someone and posted up there. Download.com probably didn't do a check. Even if they do... I figure something probably slip through the cracks.
