How can I remove Troj/Iframe-HJ?

I installed Sophos Anti-Virus 8.0.6C for Mac today.  It almost immediately found Troj/Iframe-HJ.  However, when I go to the Quarantine Manager, put in my admin password, and press Clean Up Threat, it says "Cleaning up threats..." but the task never finishes.  Is there another way, or another version, I should be using?  And can anyone tell me anything else about this threat?The Sophos website, http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Troj~Iframe-HJ/detailed-analysis.aspx  is kind of obscure.

Thanks.

JK

  • Ah... here we see why you are cautioned not to use multiple AV products at the same time....

    SAV appears to be detecting the cached ClamXav template they use to detect the same malware -- so there's nothing actually there.

    As for how this malware operates -- the detection detects malicious iFrame code in HTML pages, containing redirects to known-malicious landing pages.  The ClamAV template looks like it detects the javascript (not Java) code that injects the malicious iFrame into the web pages in the first place.
