Pissed Bde ??

A folder called bde is on my pc. After checking it, I found out that it is a viewer of some sort from Brilliant Digital Entertainment.
Can someone tell me where it came from? Apparently, from some online program or other.
Can I remove it?

Carl............ what have you been "viewing"? If you're concerned, burn it to a cd and delete it.

btw:

http://www.digitalhit.com/multipath.shtml

that should clue you in as to where/why you have it.

Sarge,
Never been to that site. It must have come with a s/w program or Morpheus or something.

bde is a parasite. You can read about parasites on the latest Langalist.
Ad Aware doesn't see it. You can check here for parasitic sites here:

Carl, ditch Morpheus. Hackers love its poorly written code. Check this out, a Napster clone and no spyware:
