After visiting a site and having Kaspersky report that it was blocking the downloading of a Trojan I decided to install NoScript. It took a day or so to train it with the regular sites that I visit and trust. I then started StumbleUpon'ing thru the "Shareware" category. These were all sites that I didn't trust and that NoScript was blocking. I didn't try to download anything! Soon http://jansfreeware.com/ was hit and Kaspersky said it was blocking the downloading of a Trojan.
How can sites cause a download without running JavaScript, Java, or AxtiveX?

Re: Kaspersky still detects a virus
Did Kaspersky identify in detail what it did not like at jansfreeware?
