A while back, there was a topic (Virtual Registry vs. "Real registry") in the Sysinternals Forums that brought up the question of how to set the virtualization-related flags of a registry key programmatically in Vista, rather than through the use of the REG.EXE tool's FLAGS switch. (For more information on the flags, see Mark Russinovich's article in TechNet Magazine, "Inside Windows Vista User Account Control"). Even before that topic in the forum, I had wondered how it was done but had not had a chance to explore. It didn't seem that many others were curious about it. That topic had resurrected the idea, but it quickly fell to the bottom of the list. I've finally gotten around to experimenting, and that leads to this write-up. I still don't see much in the way of this discussed anywhere, by searching for terms involved (data types, function param names, etc.), so hopefully this will help

IE AntiVirus, also known as IEAntiVirus or IE AntiVirus 3.2 , a rogue anti-spyware application by itself but advertises itself as a removal tool. This annoying rogue antispyware application is back after changing its face mask. It is believed that it is a variant of Malware Bell, IE Defender or Files Secure. As a matter of fact, it is one of the latest counterfeit anti-spyware softwares that causes troubles for so many innocent computer users today.

Technically, IE AntiVirus usually installed itself onto your PC without your permission, through Vundo Trojan, Zlob Trojan, Virus or fake software. IEAntiVirus will also display fake system alerts or fake security alerts to trick user to buy the paid version of IE AntiVirus. However, it’s so untrue and misleading. Not only does it cause your machine to slow down or degrade dramatically, it would also put your privacy and data in risk. To avoid further damages, it’s highly recommended to remove IE AntiVirus if your computer is infected. Before any modifications to your system, please be sure to back up the critical data first. Good luck!
