That's not one of the bad ones that are out there, that one's only fault is the false information about it being a Trojan, linking to pornography and making it sound a lot worse than it is. A mistake that was probably due to the owner of the website making presumptions without investigating. I advise you e-mail Patchou about this, and just ask him to give a small amendment notice to them, it looks better coming directly from Patchou.

Indeed, and that page is quite old and had some far worse malinformation in the past. I had a nice mail-chat with Daniel (the author of that page) in the past (more then a year ago I think) and suggested the changes. This is what he had made out of it. I didn't further yanked about this to him because it could easly lead to a worse situation. The information shown now on that page isn't completely correct in every detail, but it is as good as it gets on pages like that....

EDIT: although I see his updated link to the Plus! site is fuxored...
