C-Dilla Anti-Copying Spy

[Daniel-Man]

I'm using the evaluation version of pest patrol at the moment and it keeps picking up the C-Dilla anti-copying spy. Can someone tell me how this keeps coming onto my computer? And more importantly how I can block it from coming onto my computer again.

C-Dilla is usually installed along with some other software. This software may not work if C-Dilla is removed. It can be difficult to remove also.


Here is a quote from the venerable one mjc

I am willing to be that C-dilla is the culprit and you will not get completely rid of it unless you do a zero fill of the hard drive. the darn thing writes to the hard drive outside the MS file system and is damn hard to kill. One of the problems that has cropped up is that when it is instlled it tracks hardware, and then if you change hardware it may not update or lock ou the new hardware (especially if the new hardware is a burner).


With all of the other problems you have been having Daniel-Man , a zero fill might be an idea to consider.

One of the things about C-dilla is that each publisher that uses it can set about a dozen differnt options, not all of them use all options, but with the most options set it can be very intrusive. All installs write outside the MS file system and are potential sources of problems.

Also, on most installs if you have an app that uses it it will either do one of two things if you do remove it....a) the app will refuse to run or b) it will reinstall c-dilla.
