MacNN and iPodNN are getting some Malware warnings from Google Safe Browsing page.
Up All Night Removing Malware From Windows XP.
Since the computer is needed 1 hour at 06:00 hour, I pulled an all-nighter to remove the malware from Windows XP. This malware is a vicious one. It is a memory resident malware and altered any executables ran after explorer shell was launched. It did not alter the executables and that’s why most Anti-Virus programs detected nothing at all.
I managed to remove the offending malware manually so I could get started with the process. Here I am six something hours later running final scans on the hard-drive or any traces of the malware.
So far, so good…
Malware Alert: Flash Player 11? I Don’t Think So!
I was searching for the term “Reno 911 cast” and I noticed a somewhat weird looking link. As I suspected the link turned out to be a malicious one.
The link redirects to another site that requires Flash Player 11. Flash Player 11? There is no Flash Player 11 yet.
It is possible that MyArtsOnline.com is set up for the purpose of spreading malware. It is also possible that the site has been compromised.
Malware Site Lures Potential Victims Through TV Shows Downloads
This is nothing new, but they are still trying hard. Malware sites are luring potential victims by pretending to offer TV shows streams or downloads. South Park is set to premier its Season 13 tonight, and some sites are offering the episodes online even before it airs. Well, those sites are linking to another sites pretending to be your own Windows XP Desktop and telling you that you have been infected.
I discovered the linking site through a back-track on WordPress dashboard. It is pretty easy to spot if a site is legitimate or not. In the past, many malware “suppliers” had been opening tons of WordPress accounts to posts malicious links disguised as video links.
I guess I’ll be hunting down those malicious WordPress blogs again.
