ESETs security team have reported Orbit Downloader to contain a DDoS trojan. For the moment it's available for download from AfterDawn. Unfortunately, as a new user I'm not allowed to post a link, but go to welivesecurity and look for the article: "Orbital Decay: the dark side of a popular file downloading tool." where the delivery mechanism is explained.

The trojan has been contained in revisions of Orbit Downloader since December last year. I'm looking forward to an explanation from somebody at Innoshock.
