Since I'm new, I might as well post this here until I can join the main thread 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67634.540
There's a mystery miner than has something like 20% of the network, there's some suspicion that it's a new botnet that uses GPUs.
Well this fellow has been advertising exactly that:

I haven't seen any mention of this in the main thread, and the posts of the botnet seller are relatively recent (middle of march), which I believe coincides roughly with the new suspected botnet (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Some people in the thread have already reported it to virus scanning software companies, but, again, I don't think anyone has posted or notified them about this "iMine".
edit: change iMiner to iMine
