recently I've been getting several error messages stating -
Abnormal program termination
(program:c:\program~l\ezula\mmod.exe) during shut down of
the computer, then (c:\windows\system32\stlbcl~!dll)
during startup of the computer. Anyhelp will be
appreicated.
Ezula is evil spyware. Clean up your computer by doing the following:
Remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure
to update these programs before running them. These programs are free,
so run them both since they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also want to
run CWShredder and HijackThis from
http://aumha.org/freeware.htm.
Although CWShredder is no longer being updated, it will still clean
older variants of the CoolWebSearch malware. Please read the
instructions carefully. Also, make sure you've visited Windows Update
and applied all security patches. Do not install driver updates from
Windows Update. Make sure you are running a firewall and have a current
(not earlier than 2003) antivirus installed using updated definitions.
