I was out of town for 4 days and I come back to these annoying popups that are prefixed by CiD:
they are damn annoying, and i just came across on how to fix them and so far it seems to have worked.

the fix posted by gobucks99 is the one that worked for me

I also had the same problem and registered to post too. I found the website below and it appears to have worked. Yes when I did the uninstall I had to enter the number but that does appear to have caused any issue. My thought is that they add this so that software programs cannot remove it when doing a scan.
