Uporabniki Kaspersky anti-virusa so pri obiskovanju strani v Googlovem omrežju bili napačno opozorjeni, da je stran okužena z nevarno trojansko Java skripto. Administratorji, ki so bili preplavljeni z vprašanji, so svoje izkušnje delili kar na forumu. 

Kaspersky Lab je objavil posodobitev, ki je popravila težavo okoli Googlove storitve AdSense. V izjavi (izvleček spodaj) se rusko varnostno podjetje opravičuje za vse nastale nevšečnosti, ki jih je povzročil napačen alarm. 

An incorrect signature was added to the company’s antivirus databases on 25 January at 07:00 Moscow time (GMT+3). As a result, Kaspersky Lab products erroneously blocked some legitimate websites containing the link on script http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js, which is used in the contextual advertising system Google AdSense. 

When users visited an affected web resource, a message was displayed stating that the page contained the malicious program Trojan.JS.Redirector.ar.

The problem was quickly resolved and by 19:00 Moscow time the company’s products had stopped generating alerts for legitimate internet pages. Kaspersky Lab would like to apologize for any inconvenience this problem may have caused users. The company is continually improving its procedures for testing products and releasing updates to prevent such errors from occurring in future.
