Microsofts Antivir blockiert Google als Malware

Das Antivirenprogramm von Microsoft hat Googles-Suchmaschine vor kurzem als Malware blockiert (Quelle: Krebs on Security):

The alerts appear to be the result of a “false positive” detection shipped to users of Microsoft’s antivirus and security products, most notably its Forefront technology and free “Security Essentials” antivirus software.

I first learned of this bug from a reader, and promptly updated a Windows XP system I have that runs Microsoft Security Essentials. Upon reboot, Internet Explorer told me that my homepage — google.com — was serving up a “severe” threat – Exploit:JS/Blacole.BW. For whatever reason, Microsoft’s security software thought Google’s homepage was infected with a Blackhole Exploit Kit.

I could be wrong, but it doesn’t appear that Google is in fact infected or serving up exploits.
