If you're using Internet Explorer to browse the Web and wondering why you can't access Google, there's a reason — your computer might think it's harboring malware.
Two of Microsoft's anti-virus programs, Microsoft Security Essentials and its business-market sibling Microsoft Forefront, have been mistakenly flagging Google.com as malicious, leaving millions of customers unable to get to the world's most visited website, researcher Brian Krebs reported.
(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBCUniversal.)
This isn't the first time Microsoft has locked horns with Google by accident. Last September, the software titan's anti-virus programs not only marked Google's Chrome browser as malware, but actually removed it automatically from about 3,000 Windows machines.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

I'm sure it's just a coding misunderstanding -- there's no way that Microsoft would want users to utilize Bing instead of Google as a search engine, right?

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.
