Bundled Toshiba Software Includes C-Dilla A reader writes: I just purchased a new Toshiba notebook computer. It was a low end A15 model. Much to my surprise, it came with Alexa, C-Dilla and other spyware sounding programs pre-installed by Toshiba. The game pack requires C-Dilla to run, so I will not be using their games. I used SpyBot to remove everything suspicious. Shame on Toshiba for including spyware because most low end computers are purchased by beginners who have no knowledge of spyware that can compromise their privacy. I asked this reader if he knew the name of the game package that required C-Dilla, but unfortunately he has thrown the CD away. If anyone else can find it, let us know. 3:44:39 PM    comment []
