Comments on: Shocking – A Live Example of How Websites spread Malware http://webtoolsandtips.com/pc-security/shocking-a-live-example-of-how-websites-spread-malware/ Internet Security, Spyware Removal, Discount Coupons, Tips and Tricks Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:11:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill of Poway http://webtoolsandtips.com/pc-security/shocking-a-live-example-of-how-websites-spread-malware/comment-page-1/#comment-65797 Bill of Poway Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:48:48 +0000 http://webtoolsandtips.com/pc-security/shocking-a-live-example-of-how-websites-spread-malware/#comment-65797 This is a followup to my previous post, above. A couple of weeks after cleaning up my sites the same thing happened again. This time I did my homework and discovered that the security settings for my sites were woefully inadequate. I fixed that problem, cleaned up the mess myself this time, and have not had any problems since. For a short time my sites were banned by Google due to the infections. Bottom line, there are two separate issues. My own computer has not been infected due to reasonable diligence, firewalls, and NOD32. And cleaning up my websites + security has taken them off the malware market. Hope this helps someone. This is a followup to my previous post, above.

There's Internet Security 2010, Antivirus Soft and Antivirus 2009. They're pretty hard to get rid of because they disable the taskmaster, regedit and command line interface. Malware Bites works every time, though. There are a lot of iterations of this. There’s Internet Security 2010, Antivirus Soft and Antivirus 2009.

If they came up in a google search, when clicked on it was immediately redirected and a dialog box appeared asking to install antivirus 2009. If clicked *anywhere* inside box it directed to a website that started "scanning for malware." However if I put the web address directly in a browser window there was no problem. I reportd it to my webhost co and they removed the infection. I don't need surprises like this! My three websites were infected with a version of this.

And I agree, detection is severely lacking. One of your guidelines (that I adhere to as well and tell friends and family) is just to use common sense, that should detect 5 out of 6 pieces of Malware and hopefully the last one will be detected by your software...

I have heard that if a page redirects to another page, the previous one will not be listed in search engines.
