My point is that it is immature and irrational to remove spyware that TTax needs to run, and then complain when TTax doesn't run. You don't want spyware, don't use software that requires it. There are many alternatives. Return your TTax and get one of them. If you don't want to run cdilla, don't run TTax. Simple. Every time you run TTax, and reactivate it, Cdilla runs. By doing that you run the spyware by choice. Then you get to complain about it. You delete Cdilla, but run reactivate TTax later, hoping that "this time, cdilla won't be required". You know that you will have to reactivate TTax after you remove Cdilla before you can use TTax again, but still you remove Cdilla. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Seems pointless to me. Me, I don't run any software that requires activation, including TTax. I avoid spyware. I don't run software that requires spyware, and then complain the spyware is there. I find alternatives. Jim
