Grokster and Unknown Spyware

[S0me1X]

I noticed that with Grokster running, my desktop sometimes gets this tiny little button on the top left corner of my screen (the graphics resembles a button, but its very small (around 6x6 pixels). I cannot click it, and it just semi-randomly appears. Anyone have information to what this is? I suspect that is some spyware.

dont use grokster, but have you used Ad-aware to see if it is spyware? great little proggie for that type of stuff

It's most likely Spyware, as it is a Kazaa clone, and Kazaa also has that problem with the stupid grey button-like thing. Pissed me off also. Why put that there? Ick.. like people wouldn't notice that. Use Morpheus, it's spyware-free (apparently).

I tried adaware, when I remove everything, both Kazaa and Grokster say that a "component is missing"

I also tried Morpheus, but lately it has some performance problems (namely with scripts slowing down the computer)

Grokster even looks just like Kazaa. Bunch of ad pimps.

WinMX is amazing. No crap.
