Cdilla16.exe

[jondoh]

I've found the following device in Device Manager, Non-Plug and Play Drivers:

Service Name: C-Dilla
Device Status: Working Properly
Device Usage: Enabled
Current Status: Stopped
Startup Type: Demand
Details: Greyed-out.

I've also found CDILLA16.EXE in C:\Windows.

I've had CD burning problems using the Windows XP burn feature that weren't solved even when I replaced the CDR-RW drive. The process runs completely, then it says it can't finish.

How do I safely, completely and permanently remove this thing?

Regarding cdilla check this http://www.privacyandspying.com/privacy-c_dilla.html
Regarding burning(doesent matter if cdilla interferes)...Xp integrated burning sux,same as roxio creator..and you need a good stable burning s/w.
So to fix your problems disable imapi process and install good burning proggy.
One good audio-data free solution is bao..
Good luck

Thanks, zver. PrivacyandSpying has nothing but background info about cdilla. He suggests a tool called Rewinder, but it's just an illegal method of extending the trial period. I think I've heard of c-dilla for 3 or 4 years -- I can't believe it can't be removed. I sure wish I knew if it's the jerk that's had one of my svchost.exes running ceaselessly at 2% for the last 8 months.

Do you know what piece of software/game that installed c-dilla?
If so,install Total Uninstall,install the program with c-dilla again,but this time monitored by Total Uninstall.
After the install is complete,run TU again to remove everythying that was installed by that malware program..

Do you know what piece of software/game that installed c-dilla?

e.g. Autocad uses c-dilla as protection against non-legal usage;

Thanks, guys. I downloaded Total Uninstall; that's an excellent little trick. The small, used HD I'm using has been there, done that, if you know what I mean. It hasn't been formatted and has had many programs installed and uninstalled by a guy who "gets around" a bit himself. If anybody knows of a source for obtaining a list of the best known programs that use C-dilla, I sure need to check it out. I'm told that CAD has been installed in the past, and I can borrow the setup exe to reinstall it with Total Uninstall in charge of operations . I'm betting I get rid of c-dilla on the first try unless different apps use different versions of it.
