I tend to get a little grumpy with antivirus products these days. Now, before I type another word, all of you sales folks from av vendors, this is not an invitation to beat my door down.
Today I have a new fun. When loading up my Google.ca search page I was presented with a virus found warning.
Crap.Flippin.Crap
So, I pull the cable and dig into what could be the culprit. Hmmm, nothing there. Nope, nothing over there. OK, this is weird. Called Myrcurial. Could he see the same behaviour? Nope.
Sigh. (a pause) No. Not again.
The file in question? http://www.google.ca/logos/lunarnewyear08.gif
The file causing the problem was the title image on Google’s home page.
Oh FFS.
Google 1, Heuristics 0.
