(Cydoor Desktop Media)
Ad serving software for the Cydoor "adware". Cydoor Desktop Media specializes in "delivering targeted banner, button, pop-up, or keyword ads and messages". It markets itself with software developers who include Cydoor within their software : this enables them to allow you to use the software free of charge while they get revenue through advertisements displayed either within their software, or while you are browsing the Internet. Cydoors website indicates that products such as Opera, Kazaa, iMesh, and JetAudio use Cydoor. CD_LOAD, part of the Cydoor software, runs in the background to detect the presence of an Internet connection. As soon as you are connected to the Internet, it downloads ads for you to view.

You can get rid of Cydoor with SpyBot Search & Destroy which you will find in our
