1. removal of ezula and other adware by Guest. 2005-08-03 22:08:36
their program to be able to take the online training
and testing to become a work at home agent? This is West TeleServices I'm talking about here.
After I downloaded their required Rapid Player
v 3.0 Active X Control and Rapid Player v 3.0 Runtime, My Internet Explorer browser began freezing up as well as my cursor not working right. From past experience of this behavior, it was an indication of some sort of spyware placed on my computer. So, I followed my "instinct" and ran two
adware-spyware programs I have. The Spy Ferret
Spyware killer found the Ezula. The information that it gave on Ezula stated there were two Ezula infections. One in Program ( file ) BHO and the other one was in 20040928 Executable file BHO.
Now, the only two new files I downloaded today were the ones required by Work at Home Agent which is the work at home call center division for West TeleServices. And, they state that they do not accept any other Internet browser except Internet Explorer. To me, this is the only explanation because I ran both spyware programs before I went to bed the evening of the 16th and none was found. Then today, I'm downloading the
required Rapid player to be able to have access to the study materials and take the online test. That's what I've been doing all day. Spy Ferret
information also stated that Ezula was malware that hijacked. I've already had my home page hijacked once so now I have a hijack blaster as well, added as a security measure. However, from what I understand about Ezula, there's some sort of financial "kickback" to the person or persons that placed it on my computer in the first place. I'm just
thinking here, could it be that somehow Work At Home Services which is a division of West TeleServices somehow gets a financial "kickback"
when customers ordering something from infomercials and ads are directed to my computer to order an item? Understand, I'm not accusing anyone. However, it is so odd that my computer
internet browser is so sensitive to things such as
spyware and I recognized the "symptoms" and ran
the spyware killer programs I have. And, these
"symptoms" occurred after I downloaded the Rapid player. And, I didn't have it the evening of Feb. 16, 2005 when I ran both spyware programs as part of usual check maintenance. Also, the above
web site is where I've been all day to study the
teaching modules to prepare for the online test.
There is a "saying": "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then indeed it MUST be a duck! Meaning, there is a strong possibility that Ezula was added to my Internet Explorer browser when I downloaded the required
Rapid player. You certainly know more about this than I do. IF it is indeed a possibility that it was downloaded with the required Rapid Player programs, could you PLEASE just pass all the information that I've stated to you to the proper authority that would investigate this sort of thing?
Tonight the Spy Ferret removed it. Now tomorrow morning I have to go back to the web site and begin studying the materials in the modules.
At some point throughout the day, I will AGAIN run Spy Ferret to check it it has been re-installed
from the web site. IF that should be the case and I AGAIN have to remove it, I will contact you again.
The, there should be no doubt in my mind or your mind, just where the Ezula infections came from.
By the way, my computer is a Hewlett Packard Windows ME. I could not afford a more updated version which would have been a Windows XP.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Edith Porter
I don't want to mess with DOS if I don't have to. I hade Adware and Spybot but that didn't seem to work? Thanks
email suggestions to alaliber@indiana.edu, thanks.
