 * Greetings.
 * I have a friend of an associate that just installed this plugin a couple of weeks
   ago and soon afterwards their site was locked by their hosting company. The reason
   is because they said the site was hacked.
 * I ftped into the account to try to save their media content and erase all the
   php files and decided to do some investigation.
 * They installed this plugin, and later akismet, in August. All other plugins and
   themes were installed in 2011.
 * I tried to pull up the plugin to see reviews here on wordpress.org but could 
   not find it. I find it strange that they would install this plugin and suffer
   an attack.
 * Any comments or feedback?
