    I have this ie-av.exe popup that I couldn’t uninstall. I appreciate if you can email me a free removal tool. Thanks in advance.

    You can use spyhunter to scan your drives. It would show you the paths of infected files and registry keys. Then you can follow the instructions and manually remove the virus. Even though scanning is free, it would be nice if they don’t charge $30 for their removal tool. Oh well, guess there’s no such thing as free lunch in the world. I am happy that ie antivirus is now gone from my laptop. Good luck with your journey.

    I had the same problem. Have downloaded spyhunter and after running manualy deleted the files (then you know where they are). Problem solved. Funny that neither Ad Aware nor McAfee saw this virus. Anyway many thanks.

    I have the same issue. I am pre-download of this virus.. meaning that my computer is constantly telling me to download it. I CANNOT download or install anything because it has effectively shut off windows installer, system control panel and my ability to startup my internet connection. Basically I am stalemated.. how can I stop this thing??

    thank you but make no difference at all!
    could you please give me a hand when you are free?

    I am having the same problem as Jessica; I’m in a pre-download situation (as a result of trying to download ActiveX controls from Google), without having downloaded the ie.av executable. I can’t access anything through IE or perform any other task due to constant popups. Any way to get rid of this problem?
