We consider a nonsupersymmetric extension of the standard model with a family symmetry based on D{sub 6}xZ{sub 2}xZ{sub 2}, where one of Z{sub 2}'s is exactly conserved. This Z{sub 2} forbids the tree-level neutrino masses and simultaneously ensures the stability of cold dark matter candidates. From the assumption that cold dark matter is fermionic we can single out the D{sub 6} singlet right-handed neutrino as the best cold dark matter candidate. We find that an inert charged Higgs with a mass between 300 and 750 GeV decays mostly into an electron (or a positron) with a large missing energy, where the missing energy is carried away by the cold dark matter candidate. This will be a clean signal at LHC.
