How do I get rid of EZ Photo?

I attempted to install a "bonus" disk of software utilities that was bundled with another software product that included Adobe Album Starter.
I was not impressed and uninstalled it. . .or I thought I did.
The EZ Photo segment (apparently produced by Computer Associates) would not go away.
It started to open with launch of completely un-associated programs (like Msoft Word. . .each time I would open Word, one of the icons at the top would suddenly be "EZP". Every time I would reopen Word there was another "EZP" until the entire row of icons would say "EZP"!)
The module did not show in the "install and remove programs", so I did the worst and searched for each occurance of the program and deleated the files. I know this is not the way to do it but it was becoming an annoyance (!).
It didn't help. Somehow there is a bunch of code that still lives.
I also get error messages saying something like "Computer Associates has encountered a problem and needs to close." What ever I was working on at the time was lost.
HOW CAN I REMOVE ALL TRACES OF THIS VIRUS?
Sorry. I feel better now. . .but all the time I am working and am waiting for the message.
I talked to Computer Associates and they say they did have a part in EZ Photo's creation, but could do nothing about it.
I would call Adobe. . .but then you know what that is like.
Can somebody help me?
Jim

I really can't figure out what you're talking about. You say:
> one of the icons at the top would suddenly be "EZP"
What icons at the top of what?
What makes you believe that this "EZ Photo" is anything to do with PSA SE? I have PSA SE installed and can find no trace of this other software on my machine.

  • I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

    I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

    Just what did you do to the computer?
    It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

    How do I get rid of the photo stream on my iphone 5? Loads of weird icons I don't want/need.  Tx

    On your iOS device, you can remove photos from the Photo Stream view by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this at Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    If you added any Photo Stream photos to other albums or the Camera Roll on your iOS device, you can locate and delete these photos manually.

  • How do I get rid of "Apple Photo Streams.exe has stopped working" on Windows 7

    The error message "Apple Photo Stream.exe has stopped working" keeps popping up when I start my PC which has a 64 bit Windows 7 OS. How do I get rid of this?

    I saw that uninstalling  and then reinstalling the iCloud control panel on your computer corrects it.  I did this and it worked for a while but I'm getting it again.  Any ideas??  Thanks!

  • HT2500 how can i get rid of my photo on emails

    In the last week my outgoing emails and any email I print have a small square photo of me on them.  DISLIKE!  How can I get rid of this?  Any help is appreciated.

    That photo is not transmitted with the email. It is just a little tinsel thing that shows in Mail and address book, but only on your computer, no-one elses.
    I think playing around with Photobooth adds it, but if you go to System preferences Accounts, the photo will be there as well, and it is editable if you click on it. Change it to something else.

  • How do I get rid of unwanted photo libraries?

    I can get rid of photos if they are in my cameral roll, but I cannot get rid of them if they are in photo libraries. For some reason my iTunes downloaded pictures from my macbook onto my ipod which I never asked it to do. I want to get rid of these because they are old and no longer needed. However, when I click on one there is no trash button available. So how can I get rid of them?

    Review your syncing settings in iTunes for Photos. You probably checked for syncing some smart albums, such as Newest Photos, Last Three Events, etc.

  • How do I get rid of 'add photo' link on published photo album?

    I don't see it on my iWeb file but it shows on my published website on the photo album page: a link that says:
    + Add photo
    Any idea on how to remove that? Thanks!!

    To get rid of the download button, open the Photos inspector and select "Photos Download Size - none".
    This will not stop people from downloading images by control clicking. All this does is remove the convenient button.

  • How do i get rid of duplicate photos in iphoto

    i have seen many different posts related to this topic but most contradict themselves.  i am seeing many suggestions to use duplicate anihaltor and then posts that says the actual support people of the product say it doesn't work.  any ideas?  and ideas about how to make it stop happening once i get rid of the duplicates?  I am also trying to figure out how to get iphoto not to pick up every piece of clipart or phone icon etc that crosses its path.  my iphoto is a HUGE mess and i am trying to clean it up...48K pictures...

    Do you have a back up of the iPhoto library from before the crash?

  • How can I get rid of hidden photos in my iPad?

    Yes, I've seen this question from others and all of its answers: just connect the iPad to your computer, go to iTunes, go to the tab Photos etc.
    I have 4.5 Gb (300 photos) on my iPad that I can not find anywhere.
    I understand they are synced from somewhere on my computer, but I don't know from where since I can not see the photos on my iPad.
    In iTunes
    - I can select or deselect 'Sync Photos' and then click on 'Sync' in the bottom right corner of my screen without any result.
    - I can sync to some empty folder I created for the occasion without any result.
    - I can choose an empty album and sync to it without any result.
    If I select sync with 'All photo's, albums, events and faces' I can see (at the bottom of the page on the bar showing what amount of space is used by what on my iPad)  the amount of space Photos use on my iPad increase. If I choose 'Selected albums' the amount of space decreases back to the original 4,5 Gb, although there are NO albums and NO events selected in the list below. One should expect that syncing with an empty folder would create an 'empty' result - it does not.
    So the solutions given in the various posts on this subject don't seem to work for me.
    (and I am rather disappointed in Apple because I love their products for their ease of use…)
    Anyone out there who understands the description of my problem AND has a solution?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Jacques

    When you say that you can't find them anywhere, I assume that you mean that you can't find them on the iPad even though the storage figure says that the photos are there.
    You can try this. I don't know if this will work for you but this was recently discovered as solution for phantom photos. This was copied from a post started by gail from maine
    Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
    Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to last September when iOS 8 came out, and then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Although at the Album level it will still say "0" if you tap on the Album, you will be greeted by all of the "Recently Deleted" photos that have surpassed the 30 day limit. Mine went back to when I installed iOS 8.
    She found this in a post where txforever  was the person that discovered how to do this.

  • How do I get rid of iCloud photo library beta?

    the iCloud photo library beta seemed like a good idea - but it deleted all of the photo that had been automatically shared from my iPhone. Basically doing exactly he opposite of what I understood it to do. So I want it gone.

    I came on this site for a similar reason. Where did my pictures go that I saw in my photo library prior to upgrading to this iCloud beta crap?

  • I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

    How can I get rid of unwanted photos.  As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone.  When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

    The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos).  In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
    This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone.  To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
    All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections.  If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

  • How do I get rid of an iphoto slideshow which was accidentally downloaded onto the desktop?

    how do I get rid of a photo slideshow which was accidentally loaded onto the desktop?  The full screen photos just keep showing.  Thank you for any help.

    What do you mean by loaded onto the Desktop?  Are you referring to a changing desktop picture?
    Or do you mean stop iPhoto from playing the slideshow full screen?  Use the Escape key.

    I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.
