Countless computer users have proclaimed that their security products indicate problems involving JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj]. Specifically, computer users have reported that some anti-virus programs may stop processes from running when they detect JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj]. In some cases, the process involved is Internet Explorer, in other instances it's been Steam. If your security software is blocking programs from running because of the JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] detection, this may mean that your computer has been affected by a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). Affected PC users should remove the JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] infection entirely, both manually and using a recommended security application. In some situations, the computer user may remove the program causing the detection and re-install it.

Why JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] may be Detected on a Computer

If your security software is alerting you about the presence of JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] when you try to open a program on your computer, it is reacting to a questionable component that may have been inserted by a PUP or by a suspicious online component you may have picked up while browsing a shady website. Java scripts like JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] may be appended to certain programs that connect to the Internet so that they also may direct traffic to specific websites or IP addresses. This is done to inflate these pages' traffic numbers as well as profiting from affiliate marketing pay-per- click schemes. Essentially, shady marketers may be taking advantage of you by using scripts that generate hits to their own content every time you connect to the Internet using the affected application.

The Various Issues that may be Related to JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj]

It is not a wise choice to let JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] remain on your computer. Scripts like JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] may cause numerous performance issues on a computer. They may make websites load much slower than usual and insert unwanted content into Web pages you view on the affected Web browser or program. Redirect or iFrame scripts like JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] also may be used to deliver threats to a computer. Although JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj], in particular, has not been related to more harmful high-level attacks, nearly identical scripts may be used to redirect computer users to attack websites that use exploit kits to deliver threats to victim's computers. Essentially, JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] forces you to visit certain website. The content of these websites may vary from relatively harmless (such as affiliate marketing websites that are simply trying to boost their numbers to profit from pay-per-click schemes) to threatening attack websites containing exploits. In any case, JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] and similar scripts should not be tolerated and removed from an affected computer immediately.

Dealing with Unwanted Components Like JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj]

In many cases, computer users have reported that their security software indicates the presence of JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] but is not capable of removing JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj]. This is because Java scripts like JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] may not be located on your computer, but on certain low-quality websites you are viewing in your Web browser. JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] may be prompted by the presence of a PUP that may be a Web browser hijacker that may take the form of a browser extension, add-on or plug-in. Although most anti-virus programs are capable of detecting and removing high-level threats, many security programs have problems dealing with low-level threats such as PUPs. This means that to deal with JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj], it may be necessary to use a different security program that is completely up-to-date and also capable of detecting and removing low-level threats like PUPs. It also may be necessary to uninstall the affected application and search for the JS:Iframe-CLO [Trj] script and delete it manually.
