Hi all. Could someone out there with "Grokster" submit it to Symantec so
they can add it to the virus definitions? I can do it if necessary if
someone zips it up and sends it to me.

Thanks!

Mark

Hello.

I too got burned by Grokster, and removed it.
After removal, the dlder.exe program, and the
C:Program Files/Grokster/DB folder remained,
with 2 .dbb files. I opened them, and found one of
them had many, if not all, of my emails from my
Outlook Express Inbox mixed in with what I had
downloaded. I don't know if my firewall stopped
them from getting this information, but it is not
something you want to see. Time for Netscape.
