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:	1/10
Infected PCs:	595

HTML/iFrame.B is a generic label for iFrame exploits that redirect your web browser to sites that host hostile content. This can include drive-by-download attacks that install PC threats such as Trojans, spyware or rogue anti-virus products. Since HTML/iFrame.B attacks are generically-identified, the types of hazards that are associated with them can span an effectively-infinite range, but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers warn that HTML/iFrame.B attacks should always be taken seriously and be considered to be security and privacy risks for your PC. Anti-malware software, safe web-browsing habits and strict security settings are the top methods of keeping your computer safe from HTML/iFrame.B, which can launch itself effectively-invisibly and doesn't require your consent to begin its attack.

HTML/iFrame.B – the Latest and Greatest of Website Exploits

HTML/iFrame.B remains widely-propagated and a distinct danger for any Windows PC that comes into contact with websites of any sort. Because HTML/iFrame.B is a generalized term that can detect several types of similar iFrames-based attacks, SpywareRemove.com malware experts caution that HTML/iFrame.B payloads can vary, although likely consequences include:

Exposure to spyware that steal bank account details, Social Security numbers, e-mail addresses and other forms of personal information.
Contact with backdoor Trojans or rootkits that attack your computer's network security, circumvent your firewall and use other techniques to make your PC vulnerable to attack.
The presence of rogue anti-malware programs or associated Trojan droppers that create fake alerts, inaccurate warnings and other types of fraudulent messages.
Contact with browser hijackers that redirect your web browser to hostile sites (just as HTML/iFrame.B itself does by forcing your browser to load a malicious URL).

The PC threats noted above will often launch themselves in the form of background processes and remain up-and-running even if all you do is boot Windows by standard methods.

Saving Your Browser from Being Next on HTML/iFrame.B's Hit List

As such a popular browser exploit, HTML/iFrame.B should be considered to be a very ongoing threat to any PC that browses the web. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers discourage contact with suspicious websites specifically because of the likelihood of such sites hosting HTML/iFrame.B or similar types of script-based hazards. However, since injected HTML/iFrame.B attacks and accidental contact with HTML/iFrame.B-hosting sites may also be an issue, you should use strong security settings for your web browser and take special care to disable scripts when they're not required for content.

If your PC has been the latest victim of a prolific HTML/iFrame.B crime spree, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend that you scan your computer with quality anti-malware products that can detect and remove HTML/iFrame.B-associated PC threats. Even if you don't see symptoms of their attacks, such PC threats can cause loss of control over your computer's security settings, privacy, files or cached data.
