Re Malaware
Posted on | August 8, 2009 | 5 Comments
I have checked the links back to July 15. If you have added more since last Thursday, I haven’t checked those. Even if the links are removed, Google won’t remove the warning until they rescan the site ( who knows when they will do that ). The warning seems to affect only Firefox and that is if they have a certain setting turned on. When they say there is malware on your site, it isn’t on your site. There is a link to a site that contains the malware. The only way people can get it is to click on that link. As long as people don’t click on links in posts, they won’t run the risk of getting the malware. The only other thing I see on the blog is some coding on the blog page. I don’t think it is malicious, it looks like the standard part of the template that Worldpress uses. If this where “hidden” malware, there would be tons of sites being flagged by Google. I have put the http block on new posts, so you shouldn’t get any after that.

If your subscribers and followers want to get away from this “attack site” crap, then stop using Mozilla firefox – Complain to Mozilla about it , and use Microsoft’s IExplorer. Ever since I stopped using Mozilla – the attack site problem doesn’t happen

Dr Orly, is this what you’re talking about? A friend of mine at one of the delphi forums tried to log into this blog and received this warning
Trojan.NewMediaCodec

FYI:
just a few minutes ago received a malware warning, and our software caught it and suggested we do a complete virus sweep.
Moreover, we had just got here and then clicked on a link to read one of these blog posts.
BTW: our computer is protected by WebRoot (i highly recommend it, as Mcafee let us down recently, and an attack destroyed the hard drive in our 5 month old Dell laptop). Webroot was recommended by 2 different PC Tech companies.
Lastly: Keep being Strong, Bold, and fighting the good fight for Truth, Liberty, and Justice.
We trust you are getting good rest and enjoying a peaceful and joyous visit with your parents.
God Bless

When I tried to access your site via Firefox I got a message that your site was an attack site. But there was a little message down in the bottom right hand corner of the screen saying “ignore this message” and I clicked that and then I got to your website. But, when I tried to leave this comment Firefox really blocked me and even clicking the “ignore this message” did not help. So, here is how users can solve this problem for their Firefox browser:
tools > options >security > uncheck “tell me if the site im visiting is a suspected attack site”
Then I could use Firefox to add this comment. Probably some hackers are trying to mess your site up. Google seems to do this to a lot of sites.
