GreatMarkO Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hang on let's be clear, Chrome.exe itself ISN'T being detected as a virus - the URL you are attempting to visit is being determined as dangerous by Kaspersky - there's a difference!!

But I can't search anything in Chrome. So maybe google search is infected according to Kaspersky? I use Google DNS and also tried flushing DNS cache.

GreatMarkO Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well, the URL from your screenshot (www.google.co.in/search?q=facebook+login&oq=face&sugexp=chrome,mod=18&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) works fine for me in Chrome (25.0.1323.1 dev-m) with Kaspersky AV 2013 installed and up-to-date (Database release date: 28/11/2012 02:36:00) - The Google Results page loads as expected with no warning from Kaspersky Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1122622-kaspersky-2013-detects-chromeexe-as-virus/#findComment-595354608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusi0n Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah.. seems about right.. Might have a DNS changer virus and it might be detecting that as well..

SiCKX Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Nothing wrong here, Chrome 23. There must be some hacking/malware going on for ya there.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 28, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's most likely a false positive (see here). And this isn't the first time Kaspersky blocked co.in domains.

Growled Member Posted November 29, 2012 Member Share Posted November 29, 2012 It's most likely a false positive (see here). And this isn't the first time Kaspersky blocked co.in domains. True. They are rather known for that.
