You really don't need to understand Chinese to know about CNNIC.

Just google "CNNIC malware". For instance, this page on MS: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclope....

Maybe I'm xenophobic, but IMHO, any institution having an entry bearing its name in nearly all major malware databases simple is not trustworthy, period.
