Looks like it's last official version was released in 2007. Are you using a version from gimpshop.com with added adware/spyware? The wiki for gimpshop is pretty eye-opening...

I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source. Sorry about that. I hate that this guy is out there making my fun little project into an abomination.

I had no clue about this. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure which one I installed but it's on my test machine and I can check tomorrow
