    Got my email notification that you replied.
    Clicked the link to come here....Kaspersky in my face.

    I don't understand it either....I've been coming here for years.
    This is the only site that is doing this....has to be some sort of Kaspersky issue.

    No problems for me either. I'm testing from work where we have some pretty paranoid security software installed and it's not reporting any issues. All anti-virus programs have their moments where they err on the side of being overly cautious and report "problems" that aren't real. Kaspersky seems to have a reputation for being one of the worst about this.

    Just use Adblock Plus plugin for Firefox.

    Or block googleads manually in hostfile.

    Well, that worked!
    Simple enough...went to Firefox's add-ons and that was the first one recommended.

    Question is though...why would this just start now?
    I have been runnning Kaspersky for about 2 years not, using Firefox for longer and coming to this site even longer.
    This all just started within the last week or so.

    The plugin did stop it though.
    Thanks.

    I'm using this Kaspersky version (9.0.0.463) with Firefox - I don't know if this is the latest version - it's supposed to be - but I don't get any Kaspersky popups.

    Oh, and I use only the Kaspersky Anti-Virus (not Internet Suite - if that's what it is called). I use Outpost Firewall as my firewall. These two products make surfing almost bullet-proof.

    Kaspersky update slaps Trojan warning on Google Adsense
    By John Leyden
    Posted in Malware, 25th January 2010 16:06 GMT


    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.

    [...]
    See the link to view the full article.

    Kaspersky, unfortunately, has had a number of more recent false-positives. I ended up moving to another product due to growing tired of numerous annoyances a few years ago but I know people still using Kaspersky who both love it and hate it at the same time.
