AKA : Brilliant Digital BrilliantDigital
B3D Projector
Name: BDE
Type: Adware
Danger Level : 5 /10
Description: player for 'rich media' advertising.It
allows sites to use 'rich' (ie. annoying) advertising with 3D
effects, sound, and so on. However, it does not add its own
advertising to other sites.
Comment : Apart from being downloadable from
Brilliant's own legitimate-looking site, it is also stealth-installed
by newer versions of KaZaA and other free applications.
Manual removal (source : spywareguide.com)
: You can use 'Add/Remove Programs' for 'B3d Projector'. It
does leaves a lot of files behind, though, and an unholy mess
in the registry. It is perhaps possible that a site could re-install
BDE using some of the leftover stubs.
You will want to delete the directory 'BDE' inside your Windows
directory, and the files 'bdeinstall.exe', 'bdeinsta2.dll',
'bdefdi.dll', 'bdedata2.dll', 'bdedownloader.dll', 'bdeverify.dll',
'bdesecureinstall.exe' and 'bdesecureinstall.cab' inside your
System directory (which is 'WINDOWS\SYSTEM' under Windows 95/98/Me,
and 'WINNT\System32' under Windows NT/2000/XP).
Next, run regedit and remove the 'b3dUpdate' value from key
'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\' in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
You can also remove 'Software\ZUpdate', and in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
the keys: 'b3d', 'b3ds', 's3d_auto_file', 'b3dini_auto_file',
'BDEPLAYER.BDEPlayerCtrl[.1]', 'BDESmartInstaller.BDESmartInstallerCtrl[.1]',
'.b3dini'.
