Technical Description:

This is a generic detection name related to malicious Adobe Flash files that are accessed while browsing the web (from one's browser via the HTTP protocol).
The files infected with Trojan.SWF.IFrame.Gen contain ActiveScript code that injects malicious JavaScript into the viewed web page. The injected code alters the Document Object Model, adding IFRAME elements pointing to off-site exploits which download and install various unwanted programs on the user's machine.
