it's been reported by multiple users.
That the edonkey client now refuses to start.
It dialog opens saying that the network has been shut down.
If you click the OK button on that dialog your edonkey client then tries to uninstall itself.

This is not a hack. This self-destruct message is coming from the edonkey server themselves.

it's a http message being sent to your client in the opening web page.
The work around is to disconnect your network connection.
start edonkey. Let it fail to connect then reconnect your network.

There are very few users who are on the network right now because if they were foolish enough
to click the OK to uninstall button there edonkye client is gone.

the edonkey forms are also down and there are no message on the main page regarding this shutdown.
