Looks like LinkOptimizer and Trojan.Gromp is back again. Did you know both LinkOptimizer & Trojan.Gromp is actually same threat?

The latest LinkOptimizer files are detected as Trojan.Gromp by most European AV vendors where as US vendors such as Symantec & Spysweeper detected as LinkOptimizer.

Just like Deluxe Communication & SurfSideKick (another same threat, just different names).
