    It's spyware

    Cydoor is advertising spyware that tries to contact it's host site and upload information. Here's some info about it:

    And here:

    It is installed by KaZaa, iMesh, and some other programs. While only annoying, it is similar to some trojans, and could lead to a security risk, and certainly adds you to spam lists. Ad-Aware, Spybot, or Pest Patrol can remove it.
