    this is what Cdilla is.

    Cdilla - C-Dilla, What is it?
    C-Dilla, Cdilla and cdac11ba.exe

    * Process File: (cdilla) cdac11ba or cdac11ba.exe
    * Process Name: cdac11ba
    * Description: Associated with MacroVision’s SafeCast copy protection software which enables other software manufacturers to protect their products from illegal copying.
    * Company: MacroVision
    * System Process: No
    * Security Risk ( Virus/Adware/Spyware ): No, but double check using this spyware test
    * Common Errors: N/A

    CDilla - Detailed information

    C-Dilla [ cdac11ba.exe ] was the name of a company that was acquired by Macrovision in 1999. Some Macrovision SafeCast technology is derived from earlier C-Dilla products, and some of the files and folders used by SafeCast-licensed applications today still have "C-Dilla" in their names.

    For example, TurboTax has been known to install and use C-Dilla. What disturbs users is that Macrovision / C-Dilla License Management System can be installed without clear notification and remains after you uninstall the main application. To uninstall this software, you have to go through the uninstall procedures like you would for any software, and select this product.
    cdac11ba.exe - spy ware?

    Is it spyware? Spyware, also called adware, is commonly defined as any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Because the Cdilla does not gather Internet connection information, the program is not considered spyware.


    try running hijackthis and post a log and maybe someone will tell you what to remove as I am not versed in hijack this http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

    could also run Ad-Aware and Crap Cleaner (ccleaner). they tend to clear up what Spybot can't.

    From what I read, Cdilla isn't even spyware but a proggy that stops you from making copies of Turbotax and Autocad.

    As stated below "go through the uninstall procedures like you would for any software, and select this product."

    Then I would use Crap Cleaner (ccleaner) http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner.html just like -Auslander- suggested

    I appreciate the info..I uninstalled spybot completely and reinstalled spybot imunized the system. There were 6,606 items imunized and evidently CDilla with them, since now Spybot is running perfectly again... no C-Dilla.
