Re: CiD Problem
http://forums.pcworld.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif Hi all :

"Cid" seems to be the latest adware/spyware "running around on the net" ; the easiest &

1st try to "remove" it would be to run a "Full Scan" of the FREE Version of

"SUPERAntiSpyware" from http://www.superantispyware.com/ . IF that fails to resolve the

"problem", then you should seek Assistance from an experienced, CERTIFIED, Volunteer

"Malware-Fighter", such as the "Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals" that staff the

Forums at http://aumha.net/ .

Edit :

Recommend you try the info at http://cidhelp.com/ , especially
" 4) The use and presence of the Software is voluntary. The Software may be uninstalled at any time from your computer. The only authorized means to uninstall the Software is to use the ADD/REMOVE function on your control panel or contact support@cidhelp.com for assistance. Instructions to uninstall the Software are as follows:

1. Access your control panel by going to the Start menu;

2. Select Control Panel;

3. Choose ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS; and,

4. Select Messenger Plus! and Sponsor or CiD Help for removal.

5. If you do not remember which bundled software product you installed that included the sponsor software you can download and run the universal uninstaller located here. "

The Info in "5" is probably what you should be using !?
