IE Antivirus or Internet Explorer Antivirus is among the legions of rogue spyware applications on the web today. A rogue anti spyware program is a mock spyware removal tool designed to frighten you into thinking your CPU is severely infected with spyware and viruses. Infection from IE Antivirus can happen for the following reasons:
1. Inadvertent infection through a bogus codec installation from a multimedia file. The codec is essentially the seed that plants the spyware infection.
2. You are using Internet Explorer and were infected through a security gap in your ActiveX controls. IE is very vulnerable to spyware and viruses because of ActiveX. I recommend installing Mozilla FireFox to combat this.
3. You visited or were unintentionally redirected to a malevolent website that snuck malware on your CPU. This is known as browser hijacking which is a very common feature of IE Antivirus.
Although there are certainly others, these seem to be the most popular causes. When the virus gets into your system you will receive pop up warnings claiming your computer has been infected. The adverisements will provide an option to download IE Antivirus.
For those who actually bought the full version be very careful, your identity could be stolen. Conducting an IE Antivirus removal procedure is needed to protect yourself and prevent additionalspread of spyware and viruses.
Removing IE Antivirus on your own requires you to to erase about thirty to forty malicious files in your hard drive and registry. This can be a very complicated process and potentially dangerous when manually deleting files from your registry. If you erase the wrong file you can easily corrupt your hard drive.
That is why I recommend downloading an IE Antivirus remover that can eliminate and prevent future attacks from this dangerous program. If you feel you have been infected follow the link below and scan your computer for free to be certain. When detected you can conduct an IE Antivirus removal procedure in just a few minutes!
