Answer by Dunbar Pappy
“iFrame”, or “in line frame”, is an unseen page with URL requests (and other rubbish) used by Internet Explorer to provide a “rich Internet environment”…in this case a Yahoo advertising one.
Yahoo! calls their invasion of privacy “Matched advertising”, and it stems from the ‘Network Advertising Initiative’ (NAI), a conglomerate of advertising kingpins and requires “Opt Out” to defray the advertising tsunami from Yahoo’s partners in this server based spyware/adware (and to stop them from creating a ‘profile’ of you).
“Opt out” sign in pages; Yahoo: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/opt_out/targeting/details.html

Also, turn off 3rd party cookies;
INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:
here check ‘Override automatic….’; ‘Allow session cookies’; ‘Allow 1st party cookies’ & ‘Block 3rd Party Cookies’.
Using IE (all flavors) and allowing “active scripting” is the single biggest mistake people make. “Drive by installs”, “Opacity based attacks”, and many other malware problems arise from this feature alone…(switch to Firefox, which can also be tweaked to strictly confine these “IFrame” exploits, with “NoScript” add-on).
