Virus, malware or adware

Hi to all,

Starting yesterday I receive from Kaspersky a warning message:

Process C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE (PID: 1996) is trying to send data
using a trusted application.

Intended address:
http://85.17.3.249/trafc-2/rfe.php

If I check that box (apply to all) the annoying window appear again.
Kaspesky is up to date, scan HDD - OK. I really don't know how to get
rid off that window and that process? Can you give some advice?

TIA

That specific address no longer works:
http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http://...1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)+Web-Sniffer/1.0.24

This works, http://85.17.3.249, and can safely be viewed from here:
http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http://...o/20070309+Firefox/2.0.0.3+Web-Sniffer/1.0.24

Please consult the Kaspersky Help file or their website to learn how to
handle these messages.
