SPYWARE : Unsolicited Internet Explorer start up page change

Microsoft Internet Explorer is the world's most popular web browser.
It is also a major target for spyware and pop ups.

Some programs and web sites add components, like web toolbars, to Internet Explorer that can be used to show unwanted web sites and advertising pop ups.
Others record and transmit your browsing habits. Some programs can also change the default search
and start up pages.

During this test, PC Security Test changes the Internet Explorer home page
without user permission.

This attack should be detected and blocked by real-time protection
and registry monitoring programs.

Please note that spyware scanners will not detect this attack.

If you do not use Internet Exporer, this test is not relevant to you.
