Google UK Virus?

[albert]

In the last hour everytime i log into Google.co.uk - my home page - Security Essentials blocks a virus Exploit:JS/Blacole.BW

I'm using IE9. Has Google been hacked?

Google hasn't been hacked, the Internet however has a worm

It's my mam and dads laptop. They've just bought it and enrolled on a PC course. IE9 i'm afraid.

The virus isn't on Google's page...

Malwarebytes that mofo. And maybe some Rogue Killer (via Major Geeks) and tdsskiller from Kasperski. Then ditch IE

Google, hacked? Oh you kids...

Clear your browsing history then run Ccleaner and Malwarebytes.

Just checked, my system also shows this if I use IE.

Nothing for me using IE on Maps or anyway, sounds like you two caught something.

Thanks for that. Somethings exploiting Google. Hopefully it will be sorted tomorrow.

Happens to me too, it's to do with Google's scripting of the logo I think. It happens only when you log in to Google homepage then select classic view. It only happens in IE.

This is one instance of a false positive most likely the way in which the scripting detects what browser is being used.

Edit*
You don't even need to sign in, just load classic Google in IE.

Google it (if you can), plenty of other people are also having the problem.
