Spyware question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Penny Lane · 04-29-2005, 09:00 AM

Everytime that I run my Spyware program there are several things on there by Ezula which are classified as severe. What is Ezula and where does it come from? I have gone into my C drive and found Ezula in my programs. I have uninstalled Ezula several times but it keeps popping back in there! I have Windows XP and I use Mozilla Firefox browser. I uninstalled Kazaa and I haven't downloaded any music in months. This Ezula thing really slows down my computer . I can get rid of it by cleaning it out every day but I want to know ;

What is it?
Where is it coming from?

if it keeps coming back everyday, you probably aren't getting rid of it completely - you probably need to update you AdAware and Spybot programs, then run them in SAFE MODE.

if that doesn't work, there are more complete instructions for manual removal here:

to prevent things like this from getting back in, try using Spywareblaster AND Microsoft's Antispyware - both of these programs BLOCK browser helper objects from being installed.

Thanks Roby I am using Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1 right now. It has detected a lot of stuff that Spyhunter missed. Hopefully this will do the trick!
