..... as it contains theftware. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/eek.gif

this is just to inform you guys that if you see 'eZmmode.exe' in your startup list in msconfig, then take a look at this (http://www.ahfb2000.com/ezula/ezula.php).

I downloaded and installed a piece of crap from www.smesource.com (http://www.smesource.com) whose advt is displayed in opera. Actually, i downloaded a .exe file, which said it contained a .bmp wallpaper. I ran the file, and the wallpaper(zipped) was placed at some corner of my disk, but during installation, there was an option to install a software called 'toptext' and i went ahead with installing it. But immediately after the installation was complete (ie wallpaper and toptext were installed), i uninstalled 'toptext'.

Later during the day, i stumbled upon an entry called 'eZmmode' in the startup tab of msconfig and after a minor research at this (http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm) site, i found that it was a theftware.

During installation of toptext, a directory called ezula was created in c:\program files without my consent.

You don't have eZula TopText
You don't have Spedia Surf+

If you clicked the link to go off to the main page of the scumware site, you would notice that they only infect IE....which is another reason to use something else.
