Indeed, nowadays trojans are much more frequent that the simpler adwares and spywares…

There is a topic in the General forum about this, they certainly shot themselves in the foot with this one.
The blackhats were all over it like a rash, trying to exploit the users uncertainty in trying to find information.
However your own link brings its own alert from WOT (Web Of Trust), considered dangerous, but that classification seems harsh considering the comments listed, http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/id-theftprotect.com.
