That has got to be the most straight forward, plain English, EULA ever.

I really love those tests that The Register conducted. They submitted the file to Virus Total for analysis. Wow, guys some great testing you conduced there.

For the benefit of those who read the article and don't know what ZLOB is, it is a Trojan Horse that downloads other malware to your system. ZLOB is not DNS Changer that is another piece of malware, and is in the payload being delivered by this particular variant of ZLOB.

It really is much more honest than one would expect from the distributor of malicious software.

I imagine that EULA was not a common thing. The sample hotelcodec1182.exe I obtained last night had a complete EULA.
