I read on the net ages ago
Bearshare 2.4.0 Beta 7
LimeWire 2.02
Kazaa (unspecified versions)
Grokster 1.33
Net2Phone (unspecified versions)
all these programs install that W32.DIDer.exe trojan
What ever that is. Get rid of Grokster and the bugs then get Kazaalite. It works great and has the spyware either deleted or disabled... A better explanation is here...
