Limewire/grokster security issue - P2P-Zone

01-01-02, 12:03 PM

Symantec is reporting a trojan installation in two popular filesharing apps. Grokster and Limewire.

During the installation process of these programs, you are asked if you want to install the (spyware) program "Clicktilluwin." Regardless of whether you click Yes or No, the Trojan code is installed.

I used reg cleaner after the install and noticed clicktiluwin. Deleting that neutralized dlder so that the explorer folder was empty and there was no registry entry for anything.
Too bad that we have to check for shit after every installation.
