Spyware.IEmonster.B

Posted: April 10, 2009

Spyware.IEmonster.B is a spyware name that is displayed in the fake alert messages that report a spyware infection only to trick you into purchasing a rogue anti-spyware application, which at the moment is redirecting users to XP Antivirus or to Antivirus 2009.

Spyware.IEmonster.B infects your computer with the help of fake codecs that pretend to be free video codecs, often found on porno websites. If you download free video codecs from questionable websites, it is highly probable that they will be infected with dangerous Trojan programs. Once the Trojan program is installed, you will be bombarded with fake alert messages.

Once you click on this fake alert message, you will be directed to XP Antivirus's website where you are persuaded to buy the commercial version of the rogue anti-spyware program, which in reality does not remove any Spyware. We recommend the immediate removal of Spyware.IEmonster.B and XP Antivirus.
