Explanation :

TrojanDownloader:ASX/Wimad is a detection for malicious Windows media files that are used in order to encourage users to download and execute arbitrary files on an affected machine. When opened with Windows Media Player, these malicious files open a particular URL in a web browser.   In the wild, we have observed these URLs directing users to executable files. Presumably, users will download and run the executable in order to attempt to play the malicious media file. The media files have been distributed with extensions such as .MP3 and .WMA, using many different and enticing filenames.
