IEAntiVirus Description

Spyware Image
IEAntiVirus, or IE AntiVirus 3.2, is a rogue anti-spyware program due to its deceptive and aggressive advertising practices. IE AntiVirus and its marketing affiliates are distributing and installing IE AntiVirus's anti-spyware program through a download which is bundled with a trojan triggered by a browser helper object (BHO). Many of these trojan bundled downloads are located in sites which offer a "video codec" to be able to view free adult entertainment videos.

After your PC is infected with the trojan bundled download, it keeps showing up a popup stating "NOTICE: Your system is infected and your computer performance is not at the highest level. Full system optimization will greatly increase your computer's performance and prevent data loss". When you click on the popup, it will direct your IE to www.IEAntiVirus.com to download IE AntiVirus's anti-spyware program.

In addition, the trojan which came bundled from either IE AntiVirus and/or its affiliates hijacks your search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN, and displays a fake error message within your search results claiming that your system is infected and offering to buy the IE AntiVirus program. Once you click on this fake error message you will be redirected to IE AntiVirus's home site where you will be tricked into buying IE AntiVirus's anti-spyware application.

The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall IEAntiVirus by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden IEAntiVirus files, it's possible that IEAntiVirus will reappear after reboot. Follow the IEAntiVirus detection and removal methods below.
