This is installed by "Oxford Advanced Genie" which needs input from IE (or MS-WORD) to offer definittions of words that the mouse hovers over
  Tony C  
It's a plugin for some dictionaries such as "Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dict". It provides "Quicking Find" when you want to find a word much faster. Contact me at: samuelchuckwiles"@"hotmail.com

I have no idea how it came onto a laptop, but because of that add-on in IE, the user couldn't go to the website of Adobe, Facebook,... The user could visit those websites again when the add-on got disabled.

Getting some error related to iehelp.dll while installing Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary. Plz help
  Gaurav  
When I install Oxford Advanced Learner's Dict Genie, my BitDefender seized this file and the installation is terminated. I think that I should disable my Antivirus program for a time, then when I finish my installation, I will remove iehelp.dll later (because I trust my antivirus program).

AVG removed it
