CustomIE Spyware Profile
CustomIE is a spyware program delivered as part of a Cool Web Search infection. It manifests as new folders in the user’s “Favorites” folder in Internet Explorer and by pop-up advertisements.
Its spyware can monitor your browsing activity and send the information to a remote server. This is supposedly intended to deliver targeted ads to the user. However, it also has the ability to download other spyware programs to the computer.
If you have a CustomIE infection, you should remove it immediately with SpyZooka. Manual removal should only be done by a licensed professional due to the complexity and potential for harm to your computer.
