Cydoor

[Herr.Wenz]

Ok I tried out the new exeem and totally got rid of it after spybot picked up cydoor.

I was reading somewhere that even with spybot or other programs, cydoor can be reinstalled at windows restart. Is this true or not?

Thanx

[Malicious Intent]

There are 3 different levels of Cydoor, running from the outright invasion of all privacy to serving up banner ads.

eXeem uses Cydoor do deliver banner adverts within the program and uses a tracking cookie to know what adverts may be relevant to you.

The traking cookie is considered an invasion of privacy as it watches what you are surfing. This cookie will be reinstalled whenever you reload windows. On the other hand, you get ad cookies coming to ZP.

[Herr.Wenz]

so cydoor will not be reinstalled once detected by spybot?

[Malicious Intent]

Yes it will.

[Malicious Intent]

You could reboot your PC and find out for sure....

[Herr.Wenz]

Ok I am sorry I am not understanding.

If its reinstalled after removed by spybot, what is the best way to get rid of it for good then.

Yea I will try that later today, do you have any other suggestions to get rid of it

As above, or remove exeem and install exeem lite (eXlite - www.exlite.tk), although exlite is a version behind.
