McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.0.0 DAT 4366 June 14, 2004
just now found Adware Search Centrix on my Windows XP PC.

However, the McAfee page on the subject is devoid of details:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_101217.htm

Anybody know more about this Adware Searchcentrix virus?
What does Adware-Searchcentrix have to do with "cidaaemon.exe"?

VirusScan On-Access Scan Messages:
Name: twaintec.dll ( moved to c:\quarrantine\twaintec.dll.Vir )
Detected As: Adware-Searchcentrix (detection type = program)
Application: cidaemon.exe (Username = NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM)

Please help,

Linda Donovan

cideamon is part of MS indexing service, designed to make
searches of your harddisks
faster. If it's causing problems, you should probably
just turn it off.
The Adware Search Centrix doesn't appear to be a virus
more like malware, use adaware and spybot to remove.
also spywareblaster to keep from getting it again.
