Kristen, The first hit for "Growl" on Google is the Growl website, http://growl.info. Presumably, you haven't looked there yet.
In large, bold, red letters on the first page of growl.info, you find: If Growl was installed on your system without you knowing about it, please see this page for an explanation. Please click this link and read the results. It answers all your questions, including uninstallation instructions. Let us know if you have any problems with these quite-specific explanations and instructions. I would love to hear if you did already look at Growl.info... because I'd like to know what *we* could change about the website to make this clearer to users such as yourself.
