Broadjump

My internet firewall security keeps warning me that a
program called CFD.EXE is trying to access the internet.
My searches show it is part of a package called Broadjump
Services. It seems as though this is a program that
tracks my internet activities, reporting them to somebody.

My firewall security program also says this is a virus
potential.

Can anyone tell me who or what this program is for and
how can I remove it from my computer? I've tried
deleting the Broadjump folder and CFD.EXE and it won't
let me.

I would appreciate any assistance on this.

Thanks,

Roger

States it can be removed from Add/Remove Programs.

I think it is spyware. It tracks the web sites you
vistit and sends the info somewhere. Some people think
it is being used to signal your computer as a target to
be hacked. I found this site w/ a search on google.

I also found a post where some guy had the same problem
you are having. http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread/t-
9633.html They referenced the same spyware.

I would get some software that detects spyware.

Some Internet Service Providers "bundle" Broadjump software, this may be
your case. The executable that you refer to is also known as: "motive" or
"bjcfd.exe".
A full description here:
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist_b.htm
Scroll to the "bjcfd.exe" entry.

You may fully delete all of the application first through Add/Remove Programs and
then
run SpyBot Search & Destroy or Lavasoft's Ad-aware.
