Kaspersky warns of an "Iframe.yi" trojan


This morning, an older XP machine with Kaspersky from 2009 gave a warning about “Trojan.JS. Iframe.yi” on a blog displaying ads, which came from places appearing to be normally reputable.

The same site (and ads) did not give the warning on a nearby Windows 7 machine with Webroot, and have not on an Apple Mac with Norton.

I could not find much information on it.  There is a forum which suggests that it is a script which helps certain kinds of graphics load faster (link). 

Here is Kaspersky’s description (from its Australian site),link.  The item seems to date from 2009.
