Growl ???

[Iceman]

Hi there just been looking through the settings of my macbook and at the bottom of the options box i see a thing called growl.
What the heck is it and how did it get there?
I dont ever remember seeing it there before, is it something to do with apple or have i got it on there by mistake?

Thanks

So i dont really need it then? Its linked to something called handbrake, which i no longer have was trying to do something a few weeks ago lol.
How do i remove it?

Hmmm i have never had any notifications on emails or anything with it, maybe i need to configure it?
