What is Internet Explorer Warning?

The Internet Explorer Warning is not an Internet Explorer Warning at all. It is actually a misleading popup displayed by the rogue anti-spyware programs Total Security, and, more recently Antivirus System PRO. The latter uses the URL Winguard2009.Microsoft.com. This is done in order to trick the user into purchasing the parasite’s “full version”.

The popup says:

“Internet Explorer Warning – visiting this web site may harm your computer.
Most likely causes: The website contains exploits that can launch a malicious code on your computer; Suspicious network activity detected; There might be an active spyware running on your computer.”

Do not trust this misleading popup and remove Total Security/Antivirus System PRO immediately upon detection.

Internet Explorer Warning is Adware, which means that it plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a system after being installed. Internet Explorer Warning is known to display numerous annoying pop-ups while running.

Such Adware as Internet Explorer Warning often hijacks your homepage and replaces it with third party commercial and marketing site. Then Internet Explorer Warning proceeds to alter your browser code to prevent you from changing vital browser options.

However, the most dangerous threat Internet Explorer Warning poses is that such Adware may steal your private information and browsing history and pass it to third parties without your knowledge and consent.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Adware such as Internet Explorer Warning?

Slow PC Performance: Most of Adware is not optimized and coded very poorly, which causes your system to become unstable, slow and unreliable, as such Adware is constantly running in the background.
Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Adware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Adware.
Slow internet connection: Adware is constantly using your internet connection to send your private information to remote servers, as well as receive ads and pop-ups from third party servers, which causes much slower internet connection speed and stability.

    I cannot get to Earthlink.net when I click on the IE logo. This virus comes up instead. The Earthlink ” chat” person did not or could not understand this problem. Looking closely at the “my.earthlink.net logo . Not quite the Earthlink logo . The logo, (I photographed it and it shows a small ” peace symbol” in a circle where the earthlink “e” logo would be.
    This virus will not let me get into earthlink.net unless I manually type in the address.
    I need some help but I think also Earthlink needs to investigate this source.
    When I clicked on the ” logo a sort of rounded form of the AVG square ” color quilt” appeared with a notice about virus on my computer and to ” click here” to to get the Properties, This is what it shows:

    I dare not connect to the page that gives the
    “warning” so you might connect to the source for the virus or whatever it may be.
    I need help on this but there may be others that have already connected to it.

    The ” help source” . reads
    ” Purchase for secure internet surfing Recommended
    However when I tried to copy it would not copy.
    I did print the page and hope to scan it for further references.
    Am I the only one who has received this?

    Thank you
