For people using Microsoft Internet Explorer in conjunction with eZula's TopText, some of the words above may be highlighted with a yellow underlined link. No doubt, if you are seeing these links on various other pages, you probably didn't realize that TopText was even installed on your computer, but perhaps thought they were odd. Because the eZula company uses methods to trick you into installing their software, we consider it and similar type software as ThiefWare or spyware. TopText appears to avoid linking too many words near each other meaning that the number of ad links are limited per page. This page may have the yellow underlines (or another link color if you have a TopText clone installed) on a few of the above keywords and/or phrases.

Because advertisers pick different words to buy at a given time, the words above may or may not show the yellow underlines that make them links. The words above represent a group of popular keywords picked by ThiefWare and spyware advertisers (a.k.a. Parasiteware advertisers) which hopefully will show at least one example ThiefWare link if you have TopText installed. If you notice yellow underlines this will verify an unauthorized TopText installation. If you notice other different colored links in the select words above, they you probably have another variation of this type of software installed by another ThiefWare company. Other companies have created clones of eZula TopText.

Be aware that any part of the content on this page might have the ThiefWare links, not just the select keywords / keyphrases above.
