ScreenshotMicrosoft has classified EoRezo as an adware infection. This Browser Helper Object (a kind of browser add-on for Internet Explorer) is disguised as a beneficial application that claims to connect you with interesting a useful content. However, EoRezo's main purpose is to spam its victims with constant, annoying, pop-up advertisements. EoRezo also engages in other practices that have been linked to malware infections rather than to legitimate Windows applications. Despite EoRezo's claim that EoRezo is interactive and designed to lead you to the content targeted to your own preferences, EoRezo simply displays advertisements from a predefined list (most probably of websites and services that have payed for EoRezo's services in one way or another). According to ESG PC security researchers, EoRezo does not seem to contain any redeeming features. A careful look at this browser toolbar reveals that EoRezo is simply one more advertising tool, designed to infringe on your privacy and force you to view a variety of advertisements (generating revenue illegally in the process). Since EoRezo makes changes to the Windows Registry and to your system settings, removing EoRezo will necessarily involve using a reliable, fully-updated anti-malware application.

How EoRezo Can Affect Your Computer System

There are several things on EoRezo that have convinced malware analysts to regard EoRezo as a malware infection rather than a legitimate content-delivery system (such as StumbleUpon or the Reddit toolbar). Below, ESG PC security researchers have listed five ways in which EoRezo affects your computer system:

  1. EoRezo can connect to another server, in order to download its configuration files. This connection may happen without the user's authorization.
  2. This remote connection is a two-way street. EoRezo can send out information about your browsing habits and online activity to a remote server.
  3. EoRezo changes your home page settings and default search engine. This change can occur both on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (the two most popular Internet browsers).
  4. EoRezo connects to remote servers such as eorezo.com and alpha00001.com.
  5. EoRezo displays a constant barrage of advertisements in the form of annoying pop-up windows.
