Las year, I had to clean out a client site due to a Trojan loaded on one of their employee's laptops from a kid's learning program that was duplicated in China. Clearly, the PRC is engaging in war by other means. YMMV, but I won't load anything into my network without a full baseline, and I no longer install software via any method except direct download from the manufacturer with hash code check.
