Lets all contact download.com about qtraxmax and tell them to remove it. Thei contact form is at http://download.com.com/1200-20-750060.html
Here is what I send to them. Just dont copy it straight off.
--------------
Software: Qtraxmax

This program is a very malicious program that seriously hurts the Gnutella filesharing network, used by many of your most popular programs, such as Morpheus, BearShare, XoloX and LimeWire.

What it does is:
* It broadcasts search queries on the network at an extremely high rate (once per second), causing the network to overload. The requery rate recommeded by the Gnutella Developers Forum is once per hour.
* When it tries to download from a remote host that is busy, it retries once every second. This causes a kind of Denial-of-Service attack against the remote host.This kind of behaviour is oterwise only found in flooders and other illegal-hacking programs.

I know this is sponsored download, but you cant keep a program this is this malicious in your database.

Contact me for further information or if you need proof for my claims.
