It is possible, or it is also possible that this is a False Positive detected by avast! there is really no way to tell. But regardless I would not risk this.

Well when i opened the page there was an error the selected page was not found 303 304(not the whole page but some part of it)
I have KIS so there is a firewall included and no any alert for outbound connection.
Winpatrol doesn't detect any changes (as I too no new processes and startup items.)
I guess there's nothing to worry about  ::)

BTW I think it's not false positive because siteadviros was red

Ya I noticed that SiteAdvisor gave it a red flag too. Maybe Kespersky blocked it. I'm not sure, but it sounds like the trojan didn't get to you.

After testing the link I have found that this site gives free websites supposedly. http://ds4a,com is connected to http://freewebsites,com and both contain the same malware found by avast! I no longer want to put my system at a risk so I have blocked both sites on my system using the avast! Web Shield module.

I entered the site to see if kaspersky detects anything and nothing happened...no virus warning...
Well there is no way I would have tried it without the web shield as a back-up and been using firefox and also running it via DropMyRights. So if the worst came about any potential damage would be limited, not to mention regular hard disk images as a final fall back option.

I also checked ds4a.com using site advisor http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/ds4a.com which has links to sites with suspect spyware/adware.

Whilst this detection of Win32:Small-SK [Trj] hasn't been positively confirmed, you might want to schedule a boot-time scan and or run Ewido Security Suite If using winXP. or a-Squared free if using win98/ME, preferably in safe mode.

The boot time scan came back clean, and as mentioned, I've disabled prefetching in Fasterfox.

Thanks for the help guys. I learned a lot.  :)

Neron, yes you are correct it is just a txt file!

I sent it to kaspersky, they said it does not contain a virus or trojan!

But antivir said it did. I`m bit confused!
