Kaspersky Trojan Alert - Trojan-Downloader.HTML.Agent.NB

I recieved a Trojan Alert from Kaspersky indicating the following:

WebTraffic Event

Application: Utorrent.exe

Detected: Trojan-Downloader.HTML.Agent.NB

Object: http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/error/404.phtml

Does anyone know how I could have gotten this trojan? Google didn't bring up any good results for me..

Anything i should worry about? Kaspersky denited it twice cause it found it twice..

This all happened while trying to update to the newest version of Utorrent..

Update: I just got 2 more detections for the trojan..

I also posted this topic, but wasn't sure if it's related: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=53672

Edit: I just wanted to point out that I've used Utorrent for a very long time.. and I have never had a virus alert.. This was after utorrent prompted me today that a new version was available and after i updated Utorrent. then a few minutes later, I get this alert

uT is 100% safe, it's a false positive especially if you're sure that your torrents are all safe (sometimes bad torrents have viruses).

You need to place uT as safe software in Kasp.

Just another false positive.

Might wanna make sure your KAV is up to date too. I'm running KAV and no false-positives here.
