Guest Rod Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 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. R
Guest lb Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Re: CDilla wat dat? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=CDilla&btnG=Google+Search 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.

Guest Curt Christianson Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Re: CDilla wat dat? 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. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Rod" <pookiethai@iprimus.com.au> wrote in message news:OGONL19FIHA.6068@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... | | 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. | R | | | | | | |

Guest Bob Harris Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 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. Some links about CDilla: http://www.spywarehub.com/resources/remove-cdilla.html http://boards.cexx.org/index.php?topic=249.msg41624 http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Cdilla-t7573.html http://www.safer-networking.org/en/threats/262.html "Rod" <pookiethai@iprimus.com.au> wrote in message news:OGONL19FIHA.6068@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > 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. > R > > > > > > >

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. Rod.
