No but I would lose McAfee, it's a freebee many sites force on you like Adobe, wether you want it or not. it's always running in the background and slows down your comp, with MWB you can do manual and it won't do anything until then, just keep it off automatic. I think it's also easier to use and have tried both. You can use any scanner, but choose only one and remove the rest. Too many make it difficult to navigate and you just have junk you don't need slowing you down.

Complete And Safe Removal Of IE Antivirus Spyware?

IE Antivirus is not actually a virus protection program, it is rogue spyware. This software will appear through an initial Trojan horse that enters the computer through a helper program used on Internet Explorer. By installing the Trojan, the program will then be able to extract the registry name of the computer. Using the registry name, the software will then create a dialog box with the name of the computer, making it look legitimate. The message will say that the computer is at risk and has been infected. It will then urge the owner to download IE Antivirus, made to look like an extension of Internet Explorer. This program has no association with Internet Explorer, but many people are easily fooled by the use of their computer’s registry name in the dialog box. Once it is installed, IE Antivirus is difficult to uninstall; it will be impossible to completely uninstall it from the Control Panel. This article will explain how to quickly, safely and completely remove the spyware program. To eliminate the program, go to download.com and download Malwarebyte Anti-Malware, also called MBAM. Once it has downloaded, close all programs that are open and click on the mbam-setup.exe file, which should be on the desktop. Continue through all the following prompt boxes to complete the setup and installation, making sure to leave the Update Malwarebyte Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebyte Anti-Malware options checked. After these have been checked, click the finish button. After this, MBAM will automatically start its process, inquiring if the owner would like a scan to be performed immediately. From the scanner tab, select full system scan and run a complete system check. The process will take a long time, sometimes well over an hour. Once the system has been scanned, a dialog box will appear that indicates the system scan is finished. There will also be an option to view the results, so click view results. Files from IE Antivirus should be located in the list, along with many other files the owner likely didn’t know were installed. Click delete selected to completely delete the files. Delete any remaining shortcuts, empty the trash and restart the computer.
