IEDefender Threat Level:

IEDefender may be the latest rogue anti-spyware. IEDefender may popup exaggerated security alerts to try and trick you into buying IEDefender. IEDefender may have downloaded itself onto your computer through a trojan, like Zlob. IEDefender may launch when you start up Windows, and IEDefender may cause excessive popup ads that are difficult to close. IEDefender may also act as a browser helper object — or BHO — that may hijack your searches on Yahoo! and Google, and popup alerts that your computer is infected. IEDefender’s fake alerts may read:

“Google Alert!
Your computer is infected! Some of your search results were changed by spyware. You have to clean your pc and we recommend to use our ANTISPYWARE!”
