<snip >I have gotten no personal responses from Intuit regarding my problem with >their "C-Dilla" system. Each time I run my spy software removal program >(Spybot Search & Destroy), it removes C-Dilla and thereby forces me to >reactivate the program through Intuit each time I want to work on my taxes. <snip> SpyBot S&D does not force you to remove C-dilla (or any "spy/ad"ware) when you run the program. When you first install it, and each time you start it unless you turn off the message, it tells you "If you remove advertisement robots with this program, you may not be allowed to continue using their host programs. Read their license agreements for further info." SpyBot has the option to uncheck anything you don't want to uninstall. It never automatically uninstalls anything. If you don't want to remember to uncheck Cdilla every time, you can even go into excludes, and check Cdilla so that it won't bother checking Cdilla. Spybot can even reinstall the "spyware". Just go to the recovery section, click on Cdilla, and click recover selected items. If you let SpyBot uninstall Cdilla every time you run it, it is not Intuits fault. It is not Spybots fault. It is yours for not properly using the program. I don't like Cdilla activation, I think it is not goot for TTax or Intuit, but don't blame your problems and lack of knowledge of how to use SpyBot on Cdilla PS This is the description of Cdilla from SpyBot S&D, perhaps the best spyware/adware remover out there. Description BE WARNED: The application that has installed CDilla may stop working if you remove it! Do not remove if you haven't updated to 1.1 rel 3 or later! Basically, protection against pirated copies of copyrighted media is a good thing. The bad thing about this one is that it is often installed without the knowledge of the user; and at least here in Germany we may create a copy or two for personal usage (for example car CD player), while this software blocks every copy. And according to their own advertisement it also protects against unauthorized internet downloads. So it's even watching internet access. We DO condemn audio/video/software piracy, but we do also condemn privacy breaches. BE WARNED: The application that has installed CDilla may stop working if you remove it! Do not remove if you haven't updated to 1.1 rel 3 or later!
