Nature abhors a vacuum. Quite simply, this isn't something that Vipre can protect against. It's not malware. It's a vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Said vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely execute code on your computer without your knowledge. Said code may or may not be malware, and if it is malware is subject to the same problems of detection as other malware. In the event the code is executed your machine is likely owned.
This concludes our lesson for today, class dismissed.
