Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV is a malicious JavaScript attack that steals web browser and cookie-based information, which can allow criminals to compromise your online accounts and steal private information. Although Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV is, itself, hosted on a variety of malicious servers, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are displeased to note that redirect attacks to Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV's websites have been slipped into a wide range of otherwise reputable sites. Since compromised sites that inadvertently redirect you to Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV can also be identified and protected against with appropriate anti-malware programs, and the presence of anti-malware software that can deflect live attacks while web-browsing can be considered your best defense against a potential Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV attack. If you do suspect that you've come into contact with Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV, in addition to scanning your PC to preserve it against any possibility of downloaded PC threats, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also advise you to take action to secure your online accounts (for example, by changing passwords and other login-related information).
When Good Sites (Unintentionally) Go Bad with Help from Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV's Hackers
Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV is a spyware-esque scripted attack that's climbed into the limelight due to recent attacks that have embedded redirects to Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV-hosting websites in the HTML code of innocent sites. While SpywareRemove.com malware researchers haven't acquired a complete list of compromised sites so far, sites that are hacked to redirect to Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV can be detected by appropriate anti-malware software heuristically, which will result in PC threat alerts that can include HTML:Script-inf. Unlike most redirect attacks, there aren't any visible symptoms of redirects that cause Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV to load, and since HTML:Script-inf is obfuscated to avoid detection, you should strongly consider updating any outdated security products to maximize the possibility of stopping this attack before Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV can finish its intended purpose.
Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV has been found to be hosted on multiple sites with a variety of names, but since Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV is always a Java-reliant online attack, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers can also recommend keeping both your browser and JavaScript updated to minimize vulnerabilities that Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV and related PC threats could exploit. Disabling Java will also block Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV from attacking your PC, although related attacks from similar redirects may still be functional.
The Spoils That Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV Reaps from Its Unwitting Hosts
SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have found Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV to be similar to spyware in that Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV is designed to steal private information, particularly data that could be used to attack your PC or compromise your online accounts. Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV attacks steal cookies, in addition to information related to your web browser, and this information can be used in further attacks for a variety of purposes, particularly account hijacks, theft and fraudulent transactions. For example, if a shopping site is hacked to redirect to Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV, Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV can attempt to steal information that would allow criminals to use your account to purchase items online. Consequentially, it's vital for you to protect your accounts by changing passwords and other security information as soon as possible after a Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV attack.
At the time of this writing, while the nature of the exploit that's being used to compromise any given Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV-redirecting site isn't yet known, some prominent PC security companies estimate that spyware is a top cause. Spyware programs, such as Ramnit.gen.b, Trojan.Kerproc!rts or PDM.Keylogger, specialize in stealing personal information, much like Trojan.JS.Iframe.BDV itself, although they have an added limitation in that they must be installed on your PC in some fashion before they can launch their attacks.
