About IEPlugin
IEPlugin is an IE Browser Helper Object. It monitors site addresses, content entered into forms, and even local filenames browsed. When it sees a keyword it requests an advertisement from its servers, which it then opens as a pop-up. The list of keywords is loaded from its servers when IE starts up. Also on installation it will add a horde of bookmarks to your IE Favorites menu. . It also installs a process to update itself, which will attempt to connect to its servers every minute or so, very annoying if you have auto-dial.
