BoberFett, exactly. In a varied sort of way you proofed my point. I stated my point as if a large amount of random machines have been trojanized and disregarded the possibility a large corporate network could be doing this (I still hope for this!). After all Jmman got a nasty email from a @home user. I know the trojan effect (continuing to increase its rate) doesn't seem right when we all have leveled off, but this is the second instance of someone having a client installed with a TA member's email address listed.
What if D.Net has already realized this could very well be a trojan.. (Russ, this would not be good if D.Net had to eat their words and have to restate that it is a trojan ) Ok, what do you do now? Hmm, problem! As I said if my previous post, Nugget's stats are still being trojanized. Sure D.Net can say "Hey, we show a large amount of blocks coming from 204.209.128.157 (Mika's), and a variety of IP's." I know if they said that to me, I would know everything other then Mika's would be suspicious. D.Net still can't remove the trojan client from the infected machine, which means they will continue to crack until they are noticed or the user reformats the machine. Being able to gather the IP's and hostnames of the infected machines is still all that can be done. Hmmmm... Now there is the possible idea of sending the IP and date stamp to an ISP and requesting they forward a URL to the user because they have been trojan'ed (LOTSA WORK!).
It's possible D.Net could add a feature to the client which if a flag is sent from D.Net's pproxies, the client would kill itself.... Sure that could work, but if I was the PhF I would just grab an older version. I know I personally would not run a client with this feature (to much control given).
I'm personally tired of all the PhF postings. PhF is here. D.Net has commented it is not a trojan, which makes my personal stats liability disappear...
BTW... Blocks retaining each IP is a very interesting idea, but it still doesn't tell D.Net the contact info of the user is behind that machine. A trail yes, not much more then that.
Brad..
