Hello!
You can ask your host company, they can run a scan on your files.

Otherwise you can download your website, and run a scan on it to check for viruses. It should be able to remove the virus and then you can upload the clean file(s) again.

However, if there is really a virus on your server, then only the host company can help you, the should also install a firewall.

There is very slim, if any chance of having a blogspot blog infected. Probably it is a false alarm

We had a case of this iframe virus, (cleaned files changed ftp details upto now its good) we also noticed a page drop on google, my question is does this virus play a key role in google page/rank drop issues,..?

Thanks

The common source of infection is ftp username and passwords. if your site in infected change all your ftp accounts password. look for some javascript code or some iframe in index.php, header.php, footer.php

remove those code.

every thing will be fine.
