Summary: eAcceleration is adware, but it is supposedly easy to remove.

What is eAcceleration and how do I remove it?

In a word: adware. Fortunately it's supposedly easy to remove. There should be a "Download Receiver" entry in Add/Remove programs that can simply be uninstalled.

I have Spybot on my PC and eveytime I run a scan it says eAcceleration and NewDotNet is detected. I can't tell you how many times I have followed the steps and restarted my computer, only to come back to square one where it shows neither was removed. Please show me how to remove both these programes since I have nevere used them and I somehow know they are not good for my PC.

Eacceleration charges me 14.00 a month and I don't even use the service. I don't know how they got my credit card number either. I tried calling their customer service line and was on hold for 30 minutes, finally reached someone and was transfered to be on hold for who knows how long. How do I get them to stop billing me? I'm trying to cancel that bank account too but I don't want them to fee me 200 dollars or something in 10 months

STOP-SIGN EACCELERATOR has charged me for quite a few months through my credit card -- the authority of which was not granted to them.
Could you advise how to stop them billing directly thro' my credit card and remove the adware from the system?

Click live support
Ask for uninstaller
Or just download it.

This seemed to work for me two hours later and still no problems

Boot the computer in safe mode (F8), then go to C:\Program files..delete the folder called Acceleration Software. It will only delete in Safe Mode.

I notice that eAcceleration have a hand in 'The 4th coming' online game and all who join have their 'security software' foisted on them. Beware, dragon-slayers, the Beast is within!!
