Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) is the most widely used web browser, and the IE’s global usage is reported as 93.9% share in May 2004 according to OneStat.com.

However, malicious BHOs abuse this feature to manipulate the browser events and gather private information, which are also known as
adwares
or
spywares
