1. In Task Manager, I find CDAC11BA.EXE and CDANTSRV.EXE
AND CAN SELECT END PROCESS TO GET RID OF THEM. YOU SAID
TO OPEN TASK MANAGER TO ELIMINATE ALL THREE PROCESSES ?
2. FROM REGEDIT, THE SYSTEM VALUE IN THE RIGHT PANE OF
HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE------------\RUN SHOWS DCOMX.EXE IN THE
DATA LISTING. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP READILY IN THE
Windows/System32 folder.
3. IN START SERVICES.MSC, I FIND C-DillaCdac11BA AND C-
DillaSrv. How do I eliminate these ?

Which order of progression should I take in elimination
of these files and what should be my next step ?
