I'd actually got v5.33 on one machine (and a long overdue scan with Malwarebytes confirmed the presence of the trojan). So I zapped it with Malwarebytes and then installed v5.34.
The Register (which I usually trust as being reliable) might have gone a bit over the top though by saying that users' computers "became infected with a covert backdoor capable of spying on everything they did online". Firstly, Floxif only activates itself if the computer's user is the administrator (and recent versions of Windows hide the administrator account, rather than making it the default account). Even then it has to download and activate further malware before anything nasty can happen.
