Twitter Show Joomla Extension

Update: 2013June09 WARNING: Twitter Show Has Been Reported To Contain Malicious Code Uninstall Asap

======

This is a notice to all developers / webmasters. Check your site to see if you have any extensions installed from Autson.com AKA iNowWeb.com AKA Plimun.com (possibly more).

Remove extensions from Autson/iNowWeb/Plimun - Malicious !!

======

After adding a Downloads page I added a module for tweets. My first choice was Twitter FollowMe by Herdboy Web Design but I cannot install it successfully.

Twitter Show by Plimun is an awesome joomla module to display your tweets with many features including choosing the colors that match your website theme. Setup and configuration was easy. I think what will take time is the selection of colors only. I configured it to appear only on the "About This Website" page.
