IE-Security

IE-Security Description



IE-Security, also known as IESecurity Rogue, is a rogue anti-spyware program and is a clone of WinDefender 2009. IE-Security may be usually installed by Trojans such as Zlob, Trojan.Generic, Vundo. Once infected with Zlob, Trojan.Generic, or Vundo, you’ll receive numerous fake security alerts and system scan results stating that your computer is infected with spyware. To remove the supposed spyware infections, IE-Security will then urge you to purchase IE-Security’s full program from its website (ie-security.com) for $79.95 or $49.95.

Moreover, it seems that the makers of IE-Security were in such a hurry to release the program that they even forgot to change the DisplayName on one of its registry keys.

If you’re infected with IE-Security, you’ll find the following registry key listing WinDefender 2009 as the DisplayName:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\IE-Security “DisplayName”
Type: REG_SZ
Data: WinDefender 2009

The registry key mentioned above makes an entry on your Add/Remove Programs tool which lists WinDefender 2009 instead of IE-Security. IE-Security may have the ability to recreate itself after reboot. It is strongly recommended to remove IE-Security and WinDefender 2009 from your system upon detection.
