I've just completed a Spybot S&D scan and it picked up on a few things which I deleted from my system. But there was something called Cydoor that it couldnt delete. I checked out the Cydoor website and it looks as though its a syware company or something like it. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it from my system and what it actually is.

Thanks in advance.
