I'm not even positive that it's only one trojan that i found on my system, perhaps it's two separate viruses, and i am thinking it's a single one. In reference to "dldr.exe", i'm not positive where this came from, but i'm 90% certain that "explorer.exe" was installed by Grokster (as the Click Till U Win game). The reason i think that they're both part of the same trojan is becuase i find "clicktilluwin" in a hexdump of *both* files - which is too much of a coicidence for me. Even if you un-install it, i'm pretty sure it'll hang around... after i deleted "dldr.exe" and rebooted my machine, i found it right back in "C:\winnt\"... as for "explorer.exe" in "C:\winnt\explorer\" it still hasn't resurfaced after one reboot, but perhaps it'll come back tomorrow, when i log into the machine at work again...

Is this in relation to LIMEWIRE? I have the Dlder.exe file but no reg entry under that location or a hidden folder in Winnt called 'explorer' with a file 'explorer.exe' in it?? If so, I'm uninstalling this shit asap! Let me know. thanks, A concerned net citizen!
