Summary	0002965: Anti-Virus Reports Update source contains TROJAN-BACKDOOR
Description	I was updating my newly installed Kali Linux 2.0 in the latest version on Virtual Box. I was interested in installing the Guest Additions, as required by the Kali Documentation (Official). But somewhere in the process, Kaspersky Internet Security on my Laptop blocked access to the link saying that it was malicious and contained a TROJAN-Backdoor. This has not happened on an Identical install 1 week ago on my laptop. (I removed the old install as I had messed up in dual booting Kali with Ubuntu, yes in the VBox. Strange, but wanted to try it.) The First install worked fine for 3 weeks till my unfortunate experiment. Now, (29-12-2015), I tried updating Kali by using 'apt-get update', 'apt-get upgrade' and this error has prevented me from successfully installing the linux headers.
Steps To Reproduce	New Install Of Kali in Virtual Box with Kaspersky Internet Security installed. Repeatedly getting the 'Malicious Link warning by KIS'

muts 2015-12-30 12:44 reporter ~0004459	Some packages, such as webshells, and metasploit-framework are incorrectly identified by AV vendors as "viruses". Unfortunately, not much we can do about it....perhaps you can contact your AV support and inform them of this.
