IECodec - new fake malware installer. IECodec removal tool and instructions

IECodec (BHO.IECodec) is a new fake codec that will try to install rogue anti-spyware programs, such as AntiVirusPro. It generates false positives and security warnings to trick users into downloading (and then buying) fake remedies. We recomend to remove IECodec using Spyware Doctor antispyware with free scan.
