Hi,

I hate to say this, but I highly doubt there is any legal reprecussions you can use.
Did you read the User Agreement? I'd be willing to bet that Agreement
states that by using that (kazaa, limewire) program you grant permission to (Kazaa, Limewire) to install it's third party software, wether you choose to or not. Sadly, by agreeing to use their software you're also agreeing to install third party spyware.

This may not be the case, but If i were a company issuing spyware, I'd be sure to legally
cover my six.

hey. i had the latest kazaa installed on my computer and it gave me that
dlder trojan. also, for some time, when kazaa was starting when window
booted, in the upper left corner on my screen was a small gray box that
wouldn't respond to anything. after i stopped kazaa.exe in my system
processes, it went away. also, that dlder.exe was a pain in the ass to get
rid of.

something weird is going on. maybe the limeware and kazaa people got hacked
and someone is having a little fun, or maybe they are intentionally doing
this for some reason. isn't there some kind of legal way for this to be
stopped? id sue for all the crap i had to go thru just to get everything
working again.

im using w2k also.

I found this vulnerability in the latest Limewire 2.0.2
gnutella client download. This crap gets installed
whether you like it or not. On my WinXP machine, it
was running a new service called bargains.exe that
was located in c:\program files\bargain buddy. The
dlder.exe file resides in C:\windows. I deleted the files
before I looked at their content but there appeard to
be some DB type files in the folder. Norton's latests
pattern files (12/29) will detect the dlder.exe file but
there's no info on their website about it yet. Anyone
have a handle on what this thing is doing?
