CYDOOR
I'm having trouble with
Cydoor -- a little advertising program that was apparently downloaded with something. The anti-spyware I run finds it and removes it but because the program of origins is still on the computer it comes back. The only way to really get rid of it is to remove that program.

The problem is that I don't know what program it is! Typically Cydoor is embedded in programs such as KaZaA, NetAnts, LimeWire, Babylon, IMesh, Rosoft CD Extractor, and Rosoft Audio Recorder. I don't have any of those programs on my computer.

It seems to set up a folder in Eudora -- but Eudora claims that Cydoor is only using their adcache and that they don't embed the program or have anything to do with it.

I removed the adcache directory (I don't need it because I run Eudora in paid mode) but the Cydoor program recreates the directory when I boot up. I've run yahoo and google searches on the issue but no one seems to identify any programs that I have. This is a recent problem but to my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new programs (other than the anti-spy on the yahoo bar!). Anyone else conquered this? Suggestions?
