The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "EoRezo" manually.
Use this guide at your own risk; software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper.

Threat Details:
Categories:
adware
Description:
EoRezo is an adware that installs along a minor application like a small Wiki search application. It advertises French web sites, periodically opens the Internet Explorer with advertising web sites and changes the browser settings with it's own web sites.
Removal Instructions:
Autorun:
Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries named "combroadcaster" and pointing to "?<$LOCALAPPDATA>\combroadcaster\combroadcaster.exe?".
Installed Software List:
You can try to uninstall products with the names listed below; for items identified by other properties or to avoid malware getting active again on uninstallation, use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) or RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) to locate and get rid of these entries.
Products that have a key or property named "eoJet_is1".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\combroadcaster\combroadcaster.exe".
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\safeupdater\SafeUpdater.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If EoRezo uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Folders:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these folders.
