How to Remove IEDefender (Removal Instructions)
What is IEDefender? (Run IEDefender Scan/Check with SpyHunter)
IEDefender is labeled as a rogue anti-spyware program because of its aggressive, deceptive advertising methods. Even though the IEDefender scans for malware, its advertising tricks you into purchasing the program by presenting you with intrusive, deceptive warnings.
IEDefender and/or its affiliates are pushing IEDefender’s anti-spyware program through a Trojan that comes in the form of a video Codec used to view video files. Once you’re infected with the Trojan, your IE browser is hijacked and any search terms you add on search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo will display a fake error message within the search results.
Fake Google error message example:
“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!â€
Once you click on the error message, you’re directed to IEDefender’s website.
