Openwares.org is just a a new type of scam site.This site REPACKAGES
free and open source software projects and bundles them with malware
such as spyware and dialers. Worse still, the owners of Openwares.org
have been purposely filling CNET's download.com with fake versions of
software, including many P2P file-sharing apps and security / user
protection applications such as PeerGuardian and ProtoWall.
