I have recently downloaded a file form CNET.COM download.cnet(DOT)com that not only had this virus sent to me but also "whitesmoke_new" even more malware.
I don't know how or why people still use CNET? in my opinion it's run by a bunch of hackers, I never use it anymore but i went to another site on the internet i.e. player.gomlab(DOT)com/eng/ because it was recommended clicked their download button and (I did not look again) pressed the download on CNETS website before i realized what i had done CNETS hackers Tools were downloading to my machine.
Seriously?
I can send pictures of the malware bytes that automatically removed them, now that is good software and i recommend your users use it https://www.malwarebytes.org/ there is a free version.
I noticed this system actually allows a post with full URL'S so I have put the (dot) in to avoid any of your readers making the same mistake but i fully commend malwarebytes to anyone ;~}
Best regards

Me again, I don’t think this is a virus, it is definitely malware, my personal opinion was formulated on this based on it was an anti-malware program that found it, it was not something I particularly wanted and went out looking for i.e.
(“"Malware" is a term for any software that gets installed on your machine and performs unwanted tasks, often for some third party's benefit. Malware programs can range from being simple annoyances (pop-up advertising) to causing serious computer invasion and damage (e.g., stealing passwords and data or infecting other machines on the network). Additionally, some malware programs are designed to transmit information about your Web-browsing habits to advertisers or other third party interests, unbeknownst to you.”)
The above excerpt was from https://ist.mit.edu/security/malware other references include:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware
Is it malicious? Anything that installs itself on your machine without your permission invading any of your rights IS in my view is malicious.
