It's not IFrames, it's what they download to your PC

Re your article (What's an IFrame attack and why should I care, Newly asked questions, April 3), will SpyBot or Ad-Aware remove IFrames that may be on my computer? Jamie Woods

IFrames are generally not on your computer, they are used on web pages. However, if your PC has any malware that has been downloaded via an IFrame, then the usual anti-virus and anti-spyware programs should be able to deal with it.

Also, if you get any suspicious links, you can use Linkscanner to check sites before you visit them: http://linkscanner.explabs.com/linkscanner/
