Are you noticing popups creeping up on you constantly on your computer? Chances are you could have a piece of malware installed on your computer. The worst part is that you may not have even done it yourself. Spyware programs like IE Antivirus have been disguising themselves as anti-spyware programs. They work with trojans to silently download this malicious software onto a user’s computer, this means that the download happens without your consent. If you download free software or movies from a website there’s a pretty good chance that you could be downloading a trojan along with the software.

The popups are not the only problems you will experience once IE Antivirus is on your computer. In addition to that you’ll also notice very slow performance when attempting to do anything. The amount of system resources it takes for your computer to process the popups and other aspects of the software slow down your computer. While surfing the internet you may notice many warning messages telling you your computer is infected and your homepage will default to the IE Antivirus site.

The symptoms above may be identical to what you are experiencing. If that is the case make sure you take the steps necessary to remove it from your computer immediately. You can either do so manually by following the instructions below, or count on a product like SpyZooka to do the job for you.
