Remove IE AntiVirus. Description and removal instructions

Title: IE AntiVirus	Also known as: IE AntiVirus, IE AntiVirus 3.2, IE AntiVirus 3.3
Type: Malware	Severity scale: (81 / 100)

IE AntiVirus (also known as IE AntiVirus 3.2) is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to intimidate the user into buying it's fake full version. IE AntiVirus is a clone of MalwareBell, FilesSecure and IEDefender. Having said that, it's no different than any other rogue on or off the list: IE AntiVirus uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system, upon which it uses popups and fake system notifications to falsely inform the user that he is infected and therefore needs an anti-spyware program to dispose of the infection.

IE AntiVirus is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block IE AntiVirus.com using your HOSTS file.

Spybot kills it with the recent update

Thanks to Spybot to help with this. The only thing I had loaded that would work after an update. Once it takes over your IE you can go no where but you can launch Spybot and update it.
