IE Antivirus Removal

I was the victim of IE Antivirus attack. Let me give you some information that would help you to find out if your computer is also affected by it.

What is IE Antivirus??

It is classified as Rogue anti-spyware, what that means is IE Antivirus is a fake (deceptive!! ) anti-spyware program that pretends to be a legitimate spyware removal tool. IE Antivirus is potent in the way that it displays erroneous scan results that are totally bogus and cannot be trusted. Major irritant: It slows down your computer .

But did not even install it , I got infected when I was trying to install Ad-Aware 2008 - Lavasoft and I instead installed a spy ware , how ironical.

So the lesson to be learned here is if you are using "Bit torrent" for downloading applications. Please do read the user comments before downloading anything, I failed to do it and found it out the hard way.

So What does the spyware do??

You can’t open a single folder without it displaying a irritating dialog box that says
“your computer is at risk! Files in C:\WINDOWS (Your WINDOWS install directory ) have been infected!, check your computer online for free NOW!” and the only thing I you are allowed to do is to say YES or NO. And either way,you will be pushed online to their page !

I tried all spyware software available but none of them removed the IE anitivirus I Used Spybot - Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware (real one, this time) and XoftSpySE . All the software's I used were up to date and full version still it did not help.

How do you remove it?

To get to the point, all you have to do is download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?hhTest and it will take care of IE Antivirus for good
