After doing certain research on the web and founding messages like this one below from a BullGuard Antivirus Forum, "PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE A SPYWARE, TROJAN AND HIJACKER ON MY COMPUTER. I HAVE RUN BULLGUARD, CWSHREDDER AND AD-AWARE. ALL HAVE PICKED UP THE VIRUSES AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN MOVED/REMOVED BUT WHEN I LOG ONTO THE INTERNET THAT DAMN INTELLIGENT EXPLORER TOOLBAR IS SHOWING" A different message from spywareinfo Forum goes a little like this: "Hey I'm having issues with something called Internet explorer toolbar - Intelligent explorer. I can’t locate a way to remove it from my CPU and I really don’t want to reinstall windows. I've used spybot, ad-ware, and cw shredder but zero seems to work." It appears that Intelligent Explorer allows other software to be downloaded to your CPU and this is where the crisis occurs. What is even more amazing is that by downloading Intelligent Explorer, their license grants them the right to install software add-ins on your computer at their will. Take a look at what the software license for Intelligent Explore states (http://www.ieplugin.com/terms.html): "You grant to us the right, exercisable by us until you uninstall the Software or this agreement is otherwise terminated, to provide to you the Service of downloading and causing to be displayed advertising material on your computer, through ‘pop-up’ or other display while you use your browser. You acknowledge and agree that installation of the Software may automatically modify toolbars and other settings of your browser. By installing the Software you agree to such modifications." The company, IBC incorporated, is incorporated in Belize. I really can't believe this license! One individual end user even found highly objectionable pop-up advertisements generated by this software bundled with Intelligent Explorer in the form of excessive pornography. We have yet to break this. Intelligent Explorer is a plug-in, which can generate a new home page, as well as start up an endless loop of pop-ups. You can eliminate the view bar, but then starting up Internet Explorer will cause it to resurface. We have asked around for help or advise but no one could tell us what to do. This is what we heard: Buy a clone of a program called XoftSpy and it should remove the software. It can take two scans and a reboot to do so. This is not an advertisement for this product and this is onlyu what we have been informed of. They advertised it was free, which it was to run, but then we found out you might have to buy it to actually fix anything. It cost around $40 however look around as we feel there maybe some other alternatives for freeware products out there as well. Other spyware products out there include spybot, NoAdware, Spyware Eliminator, Pal Spyware Remover, and Spyware C.O.P. Let the buyer beware!
