I've read about a few of these now, and they always say something about how it tried to download other malware onto the system. But it never says what that other malware does, or even whether it actually succeeds in downloading any.

BINGO! We have a winner! Those that have been tested in security labs have failed to successfully download and install anything. To do so requires ROOT access or the administrator of the computer to enter his name and password to temporarily activate SUDO (SuperUser DO).
