Google Nukes Malware Blogs

Clicker Beware:

A whole bunch of Blogger Blogs have been spaminated by Google after many blogs were recently discovered with malicious scripts and redirects full of viruses and other assorted goodies.

“We’ve notified Google, and as far as we can tell, they’ve already nuked every single example given above. As I mentioned earlier, there could well be other domains out there performing these redirects so a little vigilance may be called for over the next few weeks,” Boyd said in the post.

That might explain why I’ve been having problems lately. I guess I will have to think twice before hitting that “next blog” link. Source.

    1. Wow…a re-direct happened to me today. Someone from MyBlogLog notified me that I hadn’t visited his blog in awhile, and so I clicked on his site which he had linked there, and next thing you know, I was somewhere else! I wonder if I picked up a malicious virus? Yikes!

    2. Use Trend online virus scanner. It’s the best:
