Alyon Technologies/eGroup Ripoff *All Victims PLEASE Contact ALL Authorities Immediately* dirty ripoff (censored) victimized many consumers Lakewood New Jersey click here for EDitor's comment; Alyon's efforts to resolve complaints and click here to read Alyon's response
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you contact ALL AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY. We are finally getting authorities to investigate, but EVERY COMPLAINT IS NEEDED for them to see the pattern of abuse by this company. We must get this CRIMINAL COMPANY SHUT DOWN BEFORE THEY RUIN OUR GOOD CREDIT!
Stephane Toubal, Tina McAlister, Tina Whitfield, and Joe Doherty are organized (censored), targeting ANYONE who has Internet access (and even some who don't.) They are specifically targeting children and teens more often than other unknowing individuals.
This 'nocreditcard' CRIMINAL SCAM must be stopped! If you cannot verify age with proper ID such as a CREDIT CARD, then adult sites should not be accessible!
This was a very cleverly planned and executed CRIMINAL SCAM. To advertise "nocreditcard" SELF DOWNLOADING and INSTALLING 'pop-up' ads all over the Internet, ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD and INSTALL firewall-killers, spyware, and trojan-dialers, send (censored) bills to owners of the telephone lines.
However, they DID NOT plan on hundreds of victims coming forward and filing complaints with the News Media, FBI, FTC, FCC, IFCCFBI, National Fraud Watch Center, Cybertipline, Attorney General Offices, Postal Inspection Services, and many other agencies.
Norton Works, www.spywareguide.com, www.doxdesk.com, and www.pestpatrol.com ALL verify the fact that Alyon and eGroup use ILLEGAL MEANS TO DOWNLOAD and INSTALL their items to anyone's computer without his/her knowledge or consent.
PestPatrol has ruled that Alyon/eGroup's self downloading and intalling items - IEAccess and StripPlayer - are TROJAN VIRUSES: http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/db/i/ieaccess.asp

Mr. Stephane Toubal is the CEO of Alyon Technologies, Inc. After receiving hundreds of complaints about Alyon Technologies, WWOR TV in New Jersey did an investigative report on this company. (This report re-aired last Wednesday-2/26/03) When the reporter asked Mr. Toubal about the many claims of Alyon and eGroup's items 'hi-jacking' literally hundreds of computers, his reply was, "THEY ARE ALL (censored)." Mr. Toubal was referring to a City Hall in Oklahoma, a Church in South Carolina, and hundreds of innocent victims of his criminal scam. At the end of the interview, the reporter stated, "Since this story first aired, many victims have come forward and the FBI is currently investigating Alyon Technologies."
On 2/28/03, a report by KRON News in San Francisco calls Alyon/eGroup's dialer a "virus." They quote Jan Charter of the Federal Trade Commission, equating Alyon/eGroup's business practices with "theft" and "white collar crime". http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.aspS=1158081&nav=5D7lEJCf
On 2/24/03, WSAW in Wisconsin reported: "Someone will unwittingly download a virus from an Email or a Web site. The virus will disconnect your modem phone line and make calls to a 1-900 number. The virus does this silently and without evidence. You don't know until the bill comes in the mail." The report ends noting the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection is investigating 57 complaints about Alyon Technologies.

Norton Works classifies Alyon/eGroup's products as "Nuissanceware and Dialerware that takes advantage of flaws in the computer web browser.
This is what spywareguide.com, pestpatrol.com, and doxdesk.com have to say about Alyon/eGroup and their products:
Electronic Group: Be extremely careful viewing pages made by these people: many of their pages exploit IE security holes (particularly the Content-Disposition zero-byte-in-extension bug) to insert their certificates into your Trusted Publishers list, allowing them to install their programs AUTOMATICALLY.
E-group uses security holes in Internet Explorer for installing their software. Seems to have a secret relationship with alyon.net (Alyon should be their competitor, but Alyon has it's support pages on egwn.net)
StripPlayer
Comment: Installed by ActiveX 'DRIVE-BY-DOWNLOAD' on porn related pages WHICH MIGHT BE OPENED BY "POP-UP ADVERTISING". Installation can happen "TOTALLY AUTOMATICALLY" on versions of Internet Explorer older than IE6 Service Pack 1, as a security hole is exploited to add the manufacturers, 'Electronic Group', to the list of publishers you trust, "ALLOWING THEM TO INSTALL ANY SOFTWARE THEY LIKE."
Security Issues: The 'StripSetup' ActiveX control can be used on ANY PAGE, by ANY AUTHOR, to DOWNLOAD AND RUN ANY EXECUTABLE FILE. THERE ARE NO SECURITY CHECKS, WHATSOEVER.
IEAccess/IEAccess2
Comment: Installed by ActiveX "DRIVE-BY-DOWNLOAD" on porn related pages WHICH MIGHT BE "OPENED" or "REDIRECTED TO" by "POP-UP ADVERTISING". May be INSTALLED AUTOMATICALLY, WITHOUT PROMPTING, on Internet Explorer versions earlier than IE6 Service Pack 1, thanks to a SECURITY HOLE. The installer pages exploit this to run an EXE which adds 'Electronic Group' to the list of trusted publishers, whose software IE will install AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ASKING.
Security Issues: IEAccess adds it manufacturers to the Window Trusted Publisher list. This means ANY web page can make sure ANY SOFTWARE signed by Electronic Group gets installed AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU VISIT IT. It is also suspected that it may be possible to use the IEAccess ActiveX control on ANY WEB PAGE to cause arbitrary unsigned code to be executed.

These (censored)have ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED their items to your computer. Search your computer for 'mini dialer and 'iedisco.exe' and delete them. They have created a folder called 'eGroup'- find and delete it. They have also made changes to your Windows Registry. (See Rip-Off Report #45776 - items found in Windows Registry) There are many Rip-Off Reports with instructions on finding and removing Alyon/eGroup's "POP-UP" and "DRIVE-BY" HACKERWARE, SCAMWARE, SPYWARE, and (censored)WARE. Spybot S&D update 11-17-2002 and later will find and remove these items if you cannot manually do this. *Use at your own risk*
Some of the ILLEGAL DOWNLOAD and INSTALLATION ITEMS INCLUDE: minidialer, iedisco.exe, elksoftfirewallkiller, I-Worm.sobig, IEAccess/IEAccess2, StripPlayer, forgetfirst, dialsecond, activestripsetup.dll, openme.exe, PopupToOpen, ExitPopupCBUrl-http://usa-network.video-party.com/index, ExitPopupUrl-http://auth.us.egwn.net/get-ani.php, IEAccessUAH-http://www.normal.video-party.com, Electronic Billing System, Data F-http://www.normal.video-party.com, blacklist, video, egroup, alyon.net, xww.de, start-up, hooker, strip, worm, sobig, ACX_Install, VLoading, ActiveStripSetup, and many more malicious items.
