Of particular interest to us at Control.com is the section on "Watering Holes" where links to virus-bearing content are sometimes posted:

We moderate all messages posted to our forums, and our moderators are always on the lookout for links that don't seem legitimate, or may have the potential for mayhem, but caution is always advisable when approaching any software (or, for that matter, advice) if you're not fully aware of its provenance or veracity.
Be careful out there!
