Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / October 2007CDilla wat dat?
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 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.

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.

Thank you very much Curt and lb, very useful advice, and appreciated. Rod. You're welcome Rod!

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.

(and, like mentioned b4, other programs may use the same scenario) auto > 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 Thank you. |
