[News] Microsoft Flags GMail as Virus

Microsoft says Gmail is a virus

,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that Microsoft has started flagged Gmail as a virus in
| their virus scanning software Windows Live OneCare.  Many people
| are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning is
| displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A".
| 
| Now, either Gmail is a virus, or Microsoft is generating false
| positives.  Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus
| products do not pick up the infection -- to me, this is a bit
| suspicious.

Similar stories emerged in the past. Contrariwaise in fact, spyware software
that Microsoft acquired ceased to be identified as spyware.
