I was just going to a website when kaspersky said that the website downloads potentially unwanted programs. This is the info.

Component :    Web Anti-Virus
Result description :    Blocked
Type :    Probability of unauthorized software download

Threat level :    High
Object type :    Web page
Object name :    favicon.ico
Object path :    https://noughttrustthreshold.com

I’m just wondering if what virus is "https://noughttrustthreshold.com/favicon.ico" and how does it affect a device?
