IE AntiVirus Descriptions:
IE AntiVirus (ieantiavdownload.com), also known as IEAntiVirus or IE AntiVirus 3.2 , a rogue anti-spyware application by itself but advertises itself as a removal tool. This annoying rogue antispyware application is back after changing its face mask. It is believed that it is a variant of Malware Bell, IE Defender or Files Secure. As a matter of fact, it is one of the latest counterfeit anti-spyware softwares that causes troubles for so many innocent computer users today.
Technically, IE AntiVirus (ieantivdownload.com), usually installed itself onto your PC without your permission, through Vundo Trojan, Zlob Trojan, Virus or fake software. IEAntiVirus will also display fake system alerts or fake security alerts to trick user to buy the paid version of IE AntiVirus. However, it’s so untrue and misleading. Not only does it cause your machine to slow down or degrade dramatically, it would also put your privacy and data in risk. To avoid further damages, it’s highly recommended to remove IE AntiVirus if your computer is infected. Before any modifications to your system, please be sure to back up the critical data first. Good luck!

Wow! Good thing you have said something about this, because the name, and the look makes it look very real, so real that I would probably use it if it wasn’t for my wide intelligence of computers.
Always remember guys, if you never heard of the software/program before, check into it before buying! And always stick to using Anti-virus software that you have heard of, and make sure it is a legit site your getting it from!

I downloaded SpyHunter and altho’ it ID’d the virus, it was unable to remove it. I’m not much of a technician, so can someone explain to me - step by step - how to remove this freakin’ virus! Many thanks!

1.) Instead of running people in circles why not just send them to the direct link? This might actually help them get rid of the virus.
2.) What about a FREEWARE virus or anti-spyware on the spot that will aide them right off and not leave them in the great disposition of sending their credit card or other pay info to the person whom has made the said virus/spyware?
3.) not everyone has a credit card or other payment means to register these programs to remove the said virus/spyware.

I have spent days trying to kill this thing!
The program has gone
The reg files and files listed have gone
But the bloody pop up window is STILL there!
Please, there has to be some way, without reinstalling the antivirus, which i may add doesnt remove the pop up window and keeps trying to install the same program over and over again!
I’m at my wits end!

I found the file that’s giving the annoying popup telling you to download it, it’s “C:\Windows\onekek.dll”
if you delete all the registry keys related to it, windows will let you delete it.
You can use SpyHunter to find all of the keys, and it can delete them for you, or you can do it yourself with the registry editor. (go start, run, regedit)
note: Spyhunter abbreviates the first files in the registry
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
