An Romanian antivirus company BitDefender has detected an virus in Google's Ad Network.The virus Trojan.Qhost.WU replaces the google's textual ads with ads from a different provider.
The Virus has potentially effected the Adsense users and Google. The users are effected as it takes away the potential revenue which a particular Blooger generates through the Google's ad network and also the ads may contain malicious code which may potentially harm the users computer.
On its Web site, BitDefender describes the Trojan, as spreading at a "low" level and causing medium damage. Although Google has an auto detect system which detects such malicious code but still it failed to detect this virus at the first place of occurrence which now leaves Google with some loop holes to be filled.....................
