I am getting a redirect to download "ie-av.exe" saying that I have a virus

As stated in the title when I open IE6 I get redirected to a makebelieve virus scanning site that tries to dowload a file named ie-av.exe.  Any web browsing causes this to happen.  I have seen a similar problem mentioned on you site and was hoping you could help me out.

Following the advice given in the previous tread i mentioned above I downloaded and ran ComboFix. Please look over the attached log file and direct me on how to remove this.

Thanks in advance.

You have spyware.  Download and update a decent Anti-Malware program.   I suggest Nod32.  Google it.  Download the free 30 day trial.

Okay- start with removing O2 and O3 ask.dll lines as well as O23 boonty games line (boonty.exe)  These files are all missing.
Then remove all R0 and R1 lines EXCEPT the one with yahoo.com (this should be your normal homepage--correct?)

Okay- delete the one with yahoo and leave the about.blank line alone.

And here are the manual delete instructions for that self advertising program-- I would boot into safe mode to do them.

Manual Removal Instructions:

Stop IEAntiVirus Processes:
ieav.exe
ie-av.exe
ieavinstaller.exe

Find and Delete these IEAntiVirus Files:
ieav.exe
ieavinstaller.exe
%desktopdirectory%\ie antivirus 3.2.lnk
%program_files%\ieantivirus\ieas.db2
%program_files%\ieantivirus\uninst.exe

Also,

If you are using firefox:

Go to Tools > Add-Ons > and disable all of them--see if this fixes the problem.  

Also clear you entire browsing history and cookies.

For Internet Explorer:

Click Tools > Manage Add-Ons > Enable or Disable Add-Ons
Click on an add-ons name the click disable to disable it.

Look out for one called IE ext and get rid of it.

ok sorry for sounding slow here those processes are not running as i have never installed the ie-av.exe file.  In fact I don't see those processes listed on the hjt log either.  Am I missing something here?

Hesperian,
I have sent emails to 'rpggamergirl' and 'IndiGenus' asking them to review this question.

They are both well-trained and qualified (by the actual anti-malware developers) to give advice with these kinds of problems.

Please be aware that anyone can post Expert advice here on EE, but not all Experts are created equal.

You will note by looking at the Hall of Fame statistics that the two Experts I mention are the top ranked in this Zone. To get more information on anyone offering you advice, just click on their name to get an idea of their experience and success here on EE.

I pop this pre-configured 'HOSTS' file into every computer I work on:

Hi Hesperian,

Glad to know it's been resolved. Thanks for the points.

May I ask, if it's okay with you if I share points with younghv as he brought me to this thread and he also has an excellent suggestion here {http:#22058296}

Thanks!

Anti-Virus Apps

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
