I beg to differ with you Jon that this was a simple as-ware. I suggest you read the newly revised research on the trojan done by F-Secure: http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/dlder.shtml

This software opens a security hole in your system by downloading and execututing files. What prevents them (clicktouwin) or somebody else to download and execute files from this hole ? This program also reports info about your system. Also they try to trick the user that's it is a valid window file trying to access the internet, by naming itself the name of "Explorer.exe". Pretty sneaky !!

This is far more then a simple ad-ware, but even so, this is ad-ware that LimeWire did not test or tell us that this was going to be installed on our system.

I am glad that LimeWire finally prevented version 2.02 from being download by more people, and posted a warning on their website. But there is more to be done and I don't understand why it has not been done yet. Many people do not have anti-virus, or the current definitions. They need to be provided some kind of fix, either manual or automatic, to remove this trojan. They also need to provide the users more details about this trojan. Many are well known now.

Also, it would be nice for them to provide answers to some of the very valid questions posted in this thread. What haven't they bothered to respond ?
