According to SysInternals' Process Explorer, it's running as a packed Image. Malware, including viruses, spyware, and adware is often stored in a packed encrypted form on disk in order to attempt to hide the code it contains from antispyware and antivirus. Question is; is something which we don't know about built into this IE hybride?
