CDilla wat dat?

[Guest Rod]

It appears common advice here,

to have a brace of programs for malware,

Spybot and Adaware.

 

I must say I am quite pleased with their cleanup

routine, but it seems that at every Spybot

run, on my machine, it picks up CDilla.

 

Does this malware keep reinventing itself,

or is there something I can do to prevent

it re appearing ?

I am not au-fait with the general nuts and bolts of the

spybot program.

 

Thankyou very much for any advice.

Look through these postings and you may find some insight. Only use

name brand removal utilities. I would try SpySweeper http://www.webroot.com/

there is a free trial and SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

there is a free version.

Good luck

Hi Rod,

 

The reason CDilla keeps showing up is because it was never removed--it is

most likely on Spybot's "Ignore Products" list.

 

Open up Spybot S&D->Settings->Ignore Products button, and select the "All

Products" tab. Scroll down until you find "CDilla" (there are most likely

two entries), and UN-check both or all of them, and then exit out. CDilla

will not be skipped or ignored in future runs of Spybot.

 

The reason CDilla is on the "ignore" list is because it is *not* considered

spyware in one sense of the word, but is now considered a PUP (potentially

unwanted program), and Spybot was simply leaving this decision up to the

individual user.

Re: CDilla wat dat?

 

Some programs use "CDilla" as part of their copy protection. If you remove

it, and then some program stops working, do not be surprised.

 

However, win98 itself should continue to work fine. Ditto for Microsoft

Office.

Thanks for the comment Bob,

I have removed CDilla at least 5 times before,

so I guess the programs I have, are not effected.

Cheers.

it is a part of autocad/3dmax/mechdesktop/ etc..... cant remember which one, but it is

harmless, no need to mess with it.

(and, like mentioned b4, other programs may use the same scenario)

 

auto
