Save yourself some time Scott,

Both files come up as TROJ_DLDER.A using Trend Micro's online scanner. It
evidently hasn't made it into their online encyclopedia yet. Looks like
their signature (991) was updated for this one two days ago.

Regards,
Ken

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!
