Reliance Broadband's Modem - How to De-activate rcom.co.in

Sep 16, 2009 10:28PM PDT

Reliance Broadband's Modem: ZTE brand, Model AC 8710
How to de-activate www.rcom.co.in log-in on
Connecting the Modem
========================================================

I have ZTE brand modem (probably model: AC 8710,
black color with Red color ring, a USB device)

Every time I click at 'CONNECT' to start the Wireless
BroadBand Service, the software activates: Internet
Explorer (my default bowser is: Sea Monkey) and
accesses site:

www.rcom.co.in and

then diverted to some page with very long URL + lots
of graphics


Well, this un-warranted activity, downloads about
600 KB or more of data and since I do 8 to 12
log-ins in a day, I will loose about Indian Rs 5,000
(US $ 110 +) in just one year


Question: Is there a file, which can be edited, so
that this monkey business can be stopped.


Incidentally, the giant monkey on User's Interface is
Logo of Zapak, to access the gaming site. Once,
the user or anyone else, who has access to this
modem get's hooked to playing game, then not
even GOD can save your money

While, I have not been able to find where the URL

www.zapak.com

is located, I was able to remove the display at
GUI, by deleting the 4 files which start with
Zapak??? . bmp at the Reliance sub-folder


Thnaks in anticipation

modem - model: EC-121, then post a reply

Most Windows users install a firewall. Why didn't you block that site?
