I trust them (almost) implicitly.  As much as the original vendor.
 
Though I suspect they have long stopped reading the content here, as it
seems they are actually working.

Unofficial patches overall just help malicious activity, and i'm not even
covering system crashes through bad implementation of third party patches.
Right now i've been monitoring the situation where eEye security have done
the worst thing possible by allowing script kids to download an unofficial
patch. eEye are a disgrace to the industry if they reckon their patch is
going to help the global oprand. To me big name players like SANS, CERT etc
should be publicly slamming eEye and others like it for offering a patch
which will never get past the boundires of the security community and all
its malicious users. I'm calling for the big name players to get behind me
in making the release of third party patches by people like eEye completely
unacceptable in the name of security. Its now a disgrace to me that eEye can
call themselves a security company. Well maybe a security company who offers
tools to aid malicious activity. As for their attempt to help legitimate
users patch their systems, thats a bit of a joke isn't it, since they aren't
hooked upto the millions of internet explorer users to be able to be an
effective solution for legitimate users.

Has anyone applied and tested the eeye patch? Verified that it works, and
that it does not do anything else?
