    My opinion is that by using devious tactics to install unwanted software on user's computers is unforgivable, particularly when companies such as Adobe do it with every new "version" of their software. So when Groovio showed up all over the damned place after my kid installed a well known (and previously respected) PDF tool called CutePDF I was more than unhappy.

    Thanks for providing instructions on how to remove it.
