This popped up today for the first time since I started using Avast, and that was some time ago.

It's been doing that for maybe two months now on my system as they've been updating the news again which they haven't been doing for years.
I get this when loading the scanner, it's during the startup/memory scan (it can be used to advertise which they've did or give threat info:)

Thanks for the heads up. Strange that today was the first I've seen it.

I just installed Avast today and I got that too. I don't read it though!

What are I-Frames? Are they a significant threat?

Thanks, Andavari, for the info. Avira (at least the premium version) also has the option in its WebGuard to check for I-Frames. Guess maybe I should activate it

I just enable anything that may help protect my system then if it slow down I start digging it.
