It is a Troyan Horse?
No.
is part of a group of machines Zombie?
No. It's a commercial service, and while I see the utility in it, and I'm sure the publishers take some set of precautions that they believe are reasonable, I am inherently mistrusting of this kind of service, as it's a perfect entry into your network if it's either mis-designed, mis-implemented, or mis-used. Therefore, I block it, and don't let my users near it. YMMV. Kurt
