Having done a great deal of research over a large proportion of websites and forums. All evidence seems to point towards the fact that short of throwing away your existing Hard-drive(s), nothing will remove it. However if you don't mind knowing the files are there (but definitely inactive) then I have a workaround that has enabled me to carry on as I always have, with the ability to make/create mix CD's and backups as always. Firstly remove the C-Dilla directory that it self creates, and anything within it. However do not delete the DLL files that it leaves in the system folder, as it will simply re-create them on reboot. Open your control panel > administrative tools > services. C-Dilla will appear on the list as C-DillaCdaC11BA. Right-click > properties Under the 'General' tab, ensure that 'Startup type' is set to 'Disabled' and under the 'Log On' tab, that all hardware profiles have it disabled also. And reboot. C-Dilla should no longer be a running process, and will not affect your backup creation. Hope this helps those that are also cursed by this atrocity. Shaun

The above mite work. Before you try that, be absolutely sure you don't have any application(s) licensed with SafeCast/C-Dilla technology. Otherwise the application(s) may stop working! For further info on C-Dilla, see http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/c/c-dilla.asp

can't u find it in the run part of registry, delete, the delete the files in the folder, then it may no longer come back.
