    Just downloaded an Anita Blake theme, I'm a fan, LOL, from this wonderful-looking site here:
    http://www.bluecatsgraphics.com/index.php?mc=thm&sc=tmisc
    My Kaspersky claims the .exe file contains a Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Small.bke (the files anitablake.exe, WISE0019.BIN)
    Since Kaspersky sometimes gives false positives, and I *so* want that theme installed, I wonder -- did any of you had a similar problem with a theme exe identified as a trojan downloader?

    Thank you :)

    Dawn

    Hi dawn, and welcome to the forum. :)

    You might want to upload the exe file to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and see what the different scanners say about the file.

    You could also submit it to Kaspersky for analysis.

    Regards,

    Thank you :)

    http://virusscan.jotti.org/ is a truly helpful link! Other scanners found malware / trojan

    Sent the file to Kaspersky, too.

    If you haven't already, you should do a full system scan with your antivirus, along with a anti-spyware app just in case anything else downloaded along with the file. Some free screensavers do come bundled with spyware/adware, and other unwanted guests.

    Glad you played it safe, dawn, with scanning it first before executing the file. ;)

    Regards,

    The theme contains New.net adware/spyware (I just tested it), so no, it's most probably not a false positive. Don't use it.

    Thank you TNT.
    Snap I took your advice and did a full scan with Kaspersky. Clean (I always scan with Kaspersky before I click LOL). Will now run a scan with Spybot and AdAware as well.

    I love Anita Blake, but not that much! :)

    Along with the other comments concerning badware contained inside some of these themes....the actual download site....ezthemes.com....is contained in certain recommended Restricted Site and Hosts file databases for this very reason.
