IE Security is another counterfeit security application from the creators of WinDefender 2009. This program was labeled a rogue because of its behavior and spreading techniques. IE-Security will attempt to fool you by showing fake alert messages and displaying threats which are not really present on computers.
IE Security is really another version of the recent WinDefender 2009. and is considered a rogue anti-spyware application designed to fool the user into buying fake software. IE Security propogates from rogue zlob sites through active-x and fake video codecs. It’s always a good idea to avoid video downloads from unknown sites. IE Security begins with a fake but convincing system scan that displays several false positive infections on your system. These are all fake as they do not exist on your system! IE Security will warn the user to allow the program to ‘use ActiveX controls to repair your computer’. Again, this is only to enhance the legitimacy of the page, do not click anything. Finally IE Security will continually serve popups associated with the system scan that state ‘New Database Update is Available’ and that viruses are detected on your PC. EventuallyIE Security will begin degrading your system performance and making your online experience very frustrating. Click the link below for award winning trusted virus removal.
