How do I get rid of "IE Defender" pop-ups?

This keeps popping up saying that my computer is infected and asks if I want to purchase IE Defender sponsored by Yahoo. I currently have Norton 360 but I guess it got past it, maybe Norton isn't that good?

Sounds like spyware, my friend. Unfortunately you have to use a spyware removal program to get rid of it (well, unless you're a computer engineer!)



Norton is AntiVirus, so it won't remove certain types of spyware.



XoftSpySE is good, so is PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Either one should help you out.



There are some reviews on this site, and you can download the programs:

IEDefender is an extremely dangerous rogue software created by programmers from Russia. It may be installed manually (from www.iedefender.com) or using security holes. Once the IEDefender is installed, it will start showing fake security messages that your system is in danger and will trick you into buying its full version. IEDefender may steal your secret information (passwords, credit card numbers, PayPal accounts). IEDefenders work may damage Windows registry and cause system slowdowns and crashes. It may be difficult to remove IEDefender manually because it loads on every Windows startup and has an ability to renew itself if you try to remove it.
