Something to hate: Exploit.Iframe.vulnerability

This little "friend" has ben in my computer... I think all the time since
many weeks.

Some AV-scanners find incubated objects and may even have deleted the
"mother-f____" ting it self... but if it has, then it must have reentered.

I have read about it, but I don't really understand why it's so persistent.
Does it reinfect the pc or is it likely no scanner have cleaned it?

Can anyone tell anything informative on this, thanks!

If you don't use IE and OE or if you properly patch the OS and components with MS Critical
Updates, that threat is mitigated.
