Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	9/10
Infected PCs:	6,150

Troj/Iframe-JG is a malicious script that usually is inserted into normally-safe sites that have been hacked, with current victims of Troj/Iframe-JG attacks including domains as diverse as headphone production companies, British nightclubs and fiscal trade associations. Attacks like Troj/Iframe-JG's normally result in malware being installed on any unprotected PC whose web browser loads the affected site. While it's up to website administrators to police their own site's code for suspicious additions like Troj/Iframe-JG, SpywareRemopve.com malware researchers also recommend both web browser-based security and anti-malware security to block Troj/Iframe-JG or remove the consequences of a Troj/Iframe-JG attack.

Why Staying Updated on Your Site May Help You Beat Troj/Iframe-JG to the Punch

Rather than enjoying hosting from intentionally-malicious sites, Troj/Iframe-JG appears mostly to be utilized as an unwanted injection into the code of legitimate websites. Keeping abreast of your website's code should allow you to find and remove Troj/Iframe-JG when it's necessary. The actual methods through which the affected sites are hacked have not yet been identified, although SpywareRemopve.com malware analysts and others have noted that many such hacked sites have common ground: outdated website components like the JQuery JavaScript library. Keeping your software updated may close exploitable loopholes that could allow criminals to force your site to host Troj/Iframe-JG.

The websites that host Troj/Iframe-JG are diverse and hail from around the world, and many confirmed-to-be-infected sites have failed to remove Troj/Iframe-JG in a prompt manner. As a result, SpywareRemopve.com malware research team recommends that you assume that your PC is potentially infected if you've visited any site with a reputation for unintentionally hosting Troj/Iframe-JG.

Keeping Troj/Iframe-JG Out of Your Computer Once It's Made Its Way Onto the Web

If you have any motive to misdoubt the websites that you visit, you should consider web browser-based security features that can disable Troj/Iframe-JG. Since Troj/Iframe-JG, also identified as Trojan.JS.Iframe.CVU, is a JavaScript-dependent, SpywareRemopve.com malware experts suggest that you disable your JavaScript feature except for sites that you trust completely. However, similar PC threats may abuse other software vulnerabilities, and multi-exploit packages like Blacole exploit kits are some of the most widespread malware-delivery vehicles on the Web.

Troj/Iframe-JG and similar exploits usually exist for the sole purpose of installing harmful software without your permission. This malware may or may not show any symptoms for you to see, and SpywareRemopve.com malware researchers urge you to use anti-malware products as is appropriate for removing any infections related to Troj/Iframe-JG.

Troj/Iframe-JG attacks are not specific to a particular browser. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and other popular brands of browsers all may be affected by Troj/Iframe-JG – assuming that inadequate security settings are in place. Although Troj/Iframe-JG is specific to Windows, SpywareRemopve.com malware analysts also warn that other drive-by-download attacks have expressed compatibility with other OSes.
