Microsoft AV Flags Google.com as ‘Blacole’ Malware

[Ayanami]

Computers running Microsoft‘s antivirus and security software may be flagging google.com — the world’s most-visited Web site — as malicious, apparently due to a faulty Valentine’s Day security update shipped by Microsoft.

Seems like Microsoft fixed this issue by releasing some new definitions...So if you are a Internet Explorer user and have Microsoft Security Essentials a simple update should fix this false positive.

The no.1 search engine , with one of the most used security product and in the widest spread internet browser.....this should really flood Microsoft forums with a lot of complaints.
However looking back at some others FP's from other vendors which resulted in critical system files being removed thus making users operating systems unbootable , this one (which didn't do anything when the 'Fix' button was pressed) doesn't look so bad ....

MSE is known for least of FP however some like this FP were known to be rare due on its mistake.
