Do people actually buy and download stuff from someone who "specializes in RATs" and not only that but he is infected with RATs as well?
lol
I would say that it would probably not be a good idea to download anything from anyone who makes that kind of advertisement. I would also say it is possible that the delay in admitting that it was vortex's skype that sent the malware was vortex making additional attempts to take over the OP's computer/account, although this would be speculation.
