Kaspersky Blocking Google Ads Again

kaspersky  & google adsenseTwo months ago, we reported that Google AdSense was being blocked by Kaspersky Internet security software. That was fixed pretty quickly. But now, we are hearing new reports that the latest Kaspersky update is blocking Google ads again.

The alert people are seeing from Kaspersky is:

Virus detected
Severity: Critical event
Application: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition
Version number: 6.0.2.555
Task name: Real-time file protection
Computer: DRxxxxxxx
Group: xxxxxxx
Time: 25 January 2010 09:26:00
Description: Threat detected: Trojware Trojan.JS.Redirector.ar. Object name: C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CGQQTE3H\show_ads[1].js

They are being triggered by pagead2.googlesyndication.com.

We have threads on the issue at WebmasterWorld, Kaspersky Forums and Google Web Search Help.

I have not seen a comment from an official Google represenative or Kaspersky representatives as of yet.

Google AdSense Being Blocked By Kaspersky Security Software

kaspersky  & google adsenseGoogle AdSense adds are currently being blocked by Kaspersky anti virus and Internet security software.

This started sometime yesterday with their latest releases of their security program.

One AdSense publisher emailed Kaspersky to let them know and he received a reply “within minutes” saying:

Hello,

Sorry, it was a false detection. It will be fixed in the next update.

Thank you for your help.

I assume they release updates often and the update will fix the issue soon.

Actually, it seems if you update the software now, it will resolve the issue. You just have to hope your readers update their software.
