Kaspersky blocking random sites

[labull]

For the past couple of days KAV has been blocking access to sites that couldn't possibly be infected.

As a matter of fact, it has just blocked

A couple of page refreshes and the page eventually loads.

Anyone else having this problem.

There is no entry in the KAV logfile on the WinGate server nor is there an entry in the quarantine tab of GateKeeper.

Also, now that I check further, for the past 2 days I've gotten this message at the end of my daily KAV update.

A stop/start of WinGate seems to have cleared up the problem.

Hi Larry

We just got a notification from Kaspersky about a problem with one of their updates causing false negatives. Apparently this has been fixed with another update, but would have affected some users for a couple of days I think.
