EZ Software Updater - Removal Instructions

Do you see a process named EZ Software Updater.exe in the Task Manager or a EZ Software Updater version 1.0.0.0 listed in the uninstall list on your machine?

If you wonder where the EZ Software Updater came from, it is likely that you got it from a software bundled. That's where I found it, packaged with a free software download.

I'll follow up to see if any of the other anti-virus programs detects it later on. 

If you are looking for info on how to remove EZ Software Updater you can use the entry in the uninstall programs list, or if that for some reason did not work, you can remove the EZ Software Updater.exe file and the service by checking the two items in FreeFixer, as shown in the screenshot below.

I was playing around with another software download that bundles lots of unwanted application. This time I discovered a new folder called "Bench" under "C:\Program Files\" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\" when installed on a 64-bit machine. I also found a new process running named bservice.exe:

ConstaSurf - Removal Instructions

A common tactic these days to get users to uninstall some unwanted software is to offer a download that claims to install some well-known software with a good reputation. For example, the download show in the screenshot below, which is digitally signed by Outbrowse LTD, claims to install VLC Player, which it also does. But, during the installation process there are also a large number of bundled offers.

One of these offers is the ConstaSurf adware. It will add itself in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox:

ConstaSurf is detected by many of the anti-virus programs under names such as BrowseFox and AltBrowse.

If you'd like to remove ConstaSurf, you can easily do so by downloading FreeFixer and checking the ConstaSurfBho.dll file and the ConstaSurf Firefox extension for removal, as shown in the screenshots below.

I've created a short video clip which shows FreeFixer in action when deleting ConstaSurf:




You can also remove the ContraSurf software from the Programs and Features dialog, from the Windows Control Panel.

Wisen Wizard - Removal Instructions

If you recently started seeing more ads while you browse the web, or a sidebar that opens up on many web sites, you might have an adware called Wisen Wizard installed on your machine. Here's an example of how the ads and sidebar may look like:

The screenshot above shows the Wisen Wizard "Related Searches" and an ad that claims that I've won something and mention Coop, ICA and Willys, which are retails stores that operates in Sweden and other countries.

WisenWizard will add itself into Internet Explorer as a browser helper object and as a Mozilla Firefox Add-on. Here's how it appears in the Firefox Add-ons list:

When I found Wisen Wizard it was disclosed in the installer that Wisen Wizard was bundled, and that it

"enables multi-site searching, related search results, offers and coupons and much more"

To avoid getting this type of unwanted software, please be careful when downloading software and take the time to actually read licenses shown in the installers before pressing the Next, Accept, or Install buttons.

Some of the anti-virus programs detect Wisen Wizard, under names such as Application.Win32.Altbrowse.AK, Adware.BrowseFox/Variant and Adware.Agent. Some of the anti-virus programs also detects Wisen Wizard as a trojan.

To remove Wizen Wizard, you can just check the WisenWizardBho.dll file and the Wizen Wizard Mozilla Extension in FreeFixer for removal.

There's also an entry in the Add/Remove programs dialog, which should remove Wisen Wizard:

Hope this helped you figure what Wisen Wizard is a how to remove it.
