Kaspersky Anti Virus False Positive

August 26, 2009 Christopher
Hi everyone.

If you have been using Kaspersky Anti Virus products and have been getting a warning on pages where whos.amung.us widgets are installed in the past day, don't worry! This is a false positive and not an actual virus or trojan as may be reported.

I have contacted Kaspersky and they immediately confirmed that it was a false positive and the next update will fix this issue. Thanks to Kaspersky for responding so quickly!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Update: 12:53:39 Kaspersky has responded and stated that they have updated their virus definition and signature file - false positives should no longer occur. Please contact us if there are any more concerns.

Update: 14:42:18 Just verified with an installation of Kaspersky AV 2010 that the false positive no longer appears. Thanks to Kaspersky for a prompt response!

Update: 16:42:18 There have been some reports of other AV programs giving the same positive, if you are getting these notices please contact us so we can work with them to get rid of this false positive. The piece of code causing the issue has been removed until we can get everything sorted out.

Update: 18:08:00 F-Secure has confirmed this is a false positive as well and has issued an update.
