First, wrong link, should be: http://www.zdnet.com.au/blogs/null-pointer/soa/Carelessness-...

Second:

  rm -f /*.*

I mean, seriously? Is this amateurs' hour in the trojan department? They don't even know how to use rm?

Why does a screensaver have permission to write to /usr/bin in the first place?
