So, he's saying that somebody created a virus that looks for html files on a harddrive, so it can inject iframes into them, in the hopes that the person is a developer that will upload them to the web?
That seems like a lot of work for a pretty tiny probability event. It must have been something they just threw in as a feature on another virus.
