Hi -
Just thought I'd pass on a bit of information on the new EZ trust 1 year
free trail program......here are some of the unexpected guests that took
advantage of it's trusting nature: Back Web lite, BFast, Gator, FastClick,
Commission Junction, etc.....
I have been using ZoneAlarm Free version for the past 6 months, and been
pest free according to SpyBot and AdAware the whole time.
I ran a check with the SpyBot and AdAware before installing the EZ trust
Free 1 year trial version, just to see how well it worked. I found
out....over 127 pests, 87 of which were Back Web lite. How long did it take
to amass this healthy collection? Less than 7 hours from the time I
installed the EZ trust. I timed it, just to monitor the results. I printed
out most all the list, but, so much of the Back Web lite was the same thing
that I saved some trees and stopped the printout.
Here is the info on the Back Web lite according to the SpyBot S&D
description;
company web site; http//www.backweb.com
Product: Back Web lite
Threat: Adaware/Spyware
Functionality:
Installs unknown items and advertisement popups on your system.
There's more, but, those who already have naturally curly hair might not
want to go there. Just for those who may have thought about trying it and
not sure. I've now reinstalled the real ZA program.

Perhaps you are correct...perhaps it is true that I did not get it from
EZ...but, I did get it because of EZ.
The websites that I visited during this time are ones that I visit on a
daily or weekly basis. Of course, you have no personal knowledge of my
activities, thus, there is no way I can confirm, other than to say so.
However, you can simply use whatever you like, and just leave it at that.

Not sure how much help it may be, but, this is the experience I had while I
had the program on my machine. Some may not have the same experience, but,
at least it is perhaps a bit of a heads up for others.
