globbi CdaC11BA.exe ist eine Kopierschutzverifikation.Solange der Schlüssel besteht, wird nicht mehr nach der OriginalCD gefragt.
Surinder Rinku Takes access of the PC. Check your Task Manager for the exe
It is, in and of itself, not dangerous & is bundled with SafeCast. Necessary for newer ACad systems.
Zerch (C-Dilla, bought by MacroVision) // Background task which is an integral part of MacroVision’s SafeCast copy protection software (software which enables other software manufacturers to protect their products from illegal copying). SafeCast is used in many products such as Intuit’s TurboTax (from version 2002 onward) and quite a few games.  See also: Link
Quersumme23 fuer das freischalten ueber netz ... der / des programm ist wohl eher als drm dedacht ...
Chompie Key provider for software, no need for original cd.
Tom Stephens Used with AutoDesk, AutoCAD 2004
MAR AVILA In my task manager appears like CDAC11.BA.EXE
Stg if you kill tath process you can't start any program depended on it (3dsmax)
JuvE i have a archicad and use this
RoB It came up for no damn reason and it wasn't there yesterday  See also: Link
Mirrakor comes and goes with installation/uninstallation from AutoCAD 2004
Pit Used with 3DS Max 6.0, no need to worry if you got licence for product.
Joker Baut über den Router eine Internet-Verbindung auf - Dienst deaktiviert - bis jetzt keine Probleme (kam mit der SW meines Epson-Scanners)
it's been on my computer for quite a long time and caused no problems. i also use autocad and inventor, which probably explains why it is on my pc.
Came with Auto Cad 2004
Artmonkey Part of licence management/copy protection for various 3D progs. Mine came with 3D Studio Max. Not needed if you don't use one of these programs.
toy boy Appeared after I installed my (cracked) copy of autocad 2004. So much for copy protection :P
mandarin also used with Studio Max 6
bender In my task manager appears like CDAC11.BA.EXE
Pam It appeared in my computer two days ago. I noticed it after being infected by spyware and adware. I deleted them but the process remained. I don't use AutoCad and that stuff mencioned above... I don't know whether it is or not dangerous :S
Part of C-Dilla's copy protection spyware. Prevents you from performing tasks that have nothing to do whatsoever with the software that it is bundled with. Avoid.
Ist ein unerwünschtes Spionage Software. Er installiert sich ohne nachzufragen. Lässt sich nicht Deinstallieren, auch wenn der Hersteller es behauptet. Am besten unter "Dienste" Stoppen und Deaktivieren.
Grant Huntington it's actually part of the flexlm license manager....i believe you need it to run the flexlm license manager, im not going to turn it off, since im using the same flexlm prog for 3 different programs, autocad 2004 being one of them
MMIC This is the SafeCast application used for Autodesk & Discreet software. If you have an legit license then you don't need to worry.
dont know where it came from and i want it out of my computer
gianni Slowed down my system appears to be malware/spyware.
Miquel It´s an Autocad file. Not to worry
ladyjamanay erschien bei mir vor einiger zeit auf dem computer ohne irgendeinen grund. in den diensten gestoppt und deaktiviert und ruhe is
G. Woods For the life of me, I can't get the damned thing off my computer!
Xi SHI It is installed by an application.

This come to me along with the Longman Dictionary 4th Edition.
Cody It is soemthing that does not belong on anyones computer.  See also: Link
Erik Allik Apparently caused problems. Halted explorer.exe, Windows GUI didn't work and I couldn't end process explorer.exe. After disabling the C-DillaCDac service, everything worked fine again.
erzwodezwo wird installiert mit DATA Becker Web-2-date, Schutzprogramm gegen unerlaubtes Kopieren der CD. Eine kopierte CD wird als nicht-original-CD erkannt
Stéphane Kommt auch bei Pantone Produkte vor.
Came with Auto Cad 2004
HawkUSA Diese C-Dilla Kopierschutzverifikation wird auch von vielen Data Becker Programmen benutzt. Entfernen des Prozesses und des Verzeichnisses "C_DILLA" im Rootverzeichnis von C:\ ist gefahrlos möglich. Beim nächsten Start des betreffenden Programms wird man aber dann aufgefordert kurz die Original CD einzulegen und dann wird das Verzeichnis wieder angelegt und der Prozess wieder gestartet. Will man die entsprechenden Programme also benutzen, hat man keine Wahl, denn Prozess muss laufen und Directory muss existieren. Einzige Alternative: Andere Programme benutzen, ist aber keine echte Alternative.
Dieter I'ts from autocad
Nisse Well I dont use Autocad
Cristian Should be considered malware, as it doesn't ask user permition to install and is very hard to remove. A software which insists to stay on my system even if I don't like it should be considered extremely dangerous.
norBy Associated with AutoCAD license system – no thread.
Danny B Easy to STOP. Just right-click on "My Computer", then click on Manage and find it under Processes and 'disable'
mla came with autocad ... might be evil :D
Bisturi Installed by 3dsmax 6. It checks the license and you can't run the software unless you restart the service.
Zgembo All my SW is cracked, its just part of ACAD/§dMAx and some other tools
Shashank Hariharaan Potentially in itself is a harmless file, but can be fatal as it freezes many system resources. As a consequence, the system might become vulnerable to other malicious programs.  See also: Link
Mr E i have studio max 6 installed
FiarHors While doing a search of my registry I found this file to have been a part of the game demo for Red Ace Squadron by Boonty Games.
jimmyjacko I found C-dilla came with "Magix Audio Cleaner" a few years ago and it seemed no problem, until I had to re-install Magix from a copy I had made as backup. The from what I could find on the web, C-dilla was stopping the back-up from installing. It kept asking for the original CD. I was able to delete c-Dilla when I uninstalled all signs of Magix but now have it again when it installed with WinPatrol from BP Studios. I think it's some sort of copy protection similar to Windows Validation , were it checks a serial number issued with each download of the program so you don't use it illegally.
FroZeNSouL I think it comes with 3D max 6, as if i disable it in Task manager 3Dmax wont start
Nick Essex Following problems with slow response and lockups/blue screens I found it in "services" with no information as to how it got there or what it did - checked on web for details and found lots of warnings - disabled it in "services" and very slow running was gone in an instant - PC behaves like a fast machine again
RayDeath Einfach mit Security Task Manager beenden und in den Quarantäneordner stecken und man hat Ruhe.
Andrew File is installed by 3DS Max. I have version 6. It may or may not be in earlier or later versions.
nobody it is bundled with other software (usually games) and it checks if the cd is original or copy. This software is developed and used by companies to protect their software (usually games) from copying. If you installed some software from an original cd, it may have installed also this (without any permission from user) - this is bothering. It's not spyware.
Rox I'm aware that this is also probably related to Maya, I use maya, which also runs on the flexlm licence system so I figure that based on Grant Huntington's post, that thats the reason its on my system.
Germerman Came with a Data Becker Graphics Works 5 demo(!). After removing all services and files (about 1h!) a shareware game that previously locked up after a few minutes now runs flawlessly. I think I recheck all programs that show problems at the moment (2nd CD-ROM burner ...)
Gabriel shitty DRM (digital restrictions management)
Making troubles for Network Neighbourhood, files aren't copy.
It is used to protect copying and is run with certain programs and games such as BF2 (Battlefield 2)
msc Da ich meinen Rechner gerade erst neu aufgesetzt habe, konnte ich diese Datei eindeutig dem Programm Abbyy Fine Reader zuordnen. Nach dem Programmstart von Fine Reader war der Dienst wieder von deaktiviert auf automatisch gesetzt.
Mitchpate CDilla copyright protection client. Checks the internet to make sure an identical product serial isn't in use. Required to use the product it comes with, removing it disables the game/application.
Anonymous Behaves like malware (resists deletion, installs without permission), and is associated with Macrovision which I don't trust one bit. Recommend removing this and not using anything that requires it.
jon- jhemming@myway.com windows now says its a device driver and my system renamed it *.vxd when i installed the update
gertoo245 Was installed with Autocad 2004, its installed without permission, and causes autocad not too start very often requires reboot, although its a legal copy!
zsukeljuma i have auto cad and scanned over 30 win installs dont have this file
Sam Comes with Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM -- It TOTALLY fux0red my RAID drives, making some disappear from the OS at odd times. It's stupid and harmful and it took me three days to discover what the problem was because it doesn't uninstall when you remove OED. Criminal crap spam garbage.
