WARNING: Alexa Delivering A Trojan Program To Your Computer

Well, this looks to be unusual but true. My licenced Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (updated database) displays a securiy warning whenever I open Alexa to check rank of any website. Just check the screenshot below.

alexa-contains-trojan-program

The object which seems to contain the trojan is heroestelevision.com/favicon.ico. Name of the trojan was “Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.bag”. Kaspersky was quick to deny the loading of this object but everybody might now have Kaspersky with them. Watch out guys!

    Hey, I didn't notice any warnings. I have Avast installed. But when I checked rankings for your site. Avast comes out with a warning for the same trojan and aborts connection.

    I have checked a few other sites, yours seem to be the only one behaving like that on Alexa. :p I am sure there must be others too though.
