    This “AntivirusLab 2009? got itself downloaded and installed, without the permission of the user. when uninstalled using its own unistalling exe, there is nothing left in the C:\programs files folder, but its icon still hangs there on the task bar. I could by no means find what thread it belongs to. The icon flashes and would often prompt out some “you are at risk” kind of message, which is very annoying. when click or right-click on the icon, it will direct to the website of “Antivirus lab 2009?, using IE specificly.

    btw, IE is also added some nautious plugins after this lab, while I do not use IE.
