Kaspersky update slaps Trojan warning on Google Adsense

Quote:
An update to Kaspersky's popular anti-virus software on Monday falsely identified Google Adsense as a malicious script.

As a result of the false alarm, Kaspersky users visiting sites in Google ad syndication network were falsely warned a site was infected with malicious Trojan-linked JavaScript. Network admins, swamped with inquiries, posted their experiences on a growing forum thread.

A Kaspersky Lab spokesman said it was aware of the Google Adsense problem, adding an update should be issued shortly. No further details were available at the time of going to press.

Interesting! Google Adsense/Adwords have been a recent vector for spreading malware lately (See this story, for example). I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks for the link!
