Some of us have been INFECTED Again, with a Virus…

Why ?

These are the words of my blogging buddy Sheila from the Ad Master –

My blog was hacked today. Somehow someone inserted a huge line of code into my blogs header which caused it to redirect to a bunch of stupid sites. I wish I could redirect something right back at them that would blow up their damn computers while they’re busy hacking into someone’s private property. These people make me insane!!!!! I wasn’t aware of how much I didn’t know about these morons. I didn’t know that hacker isn’t really an appropriate word for these #$$@^&*(), the appropriate term would be cracker. Hackers break code for good and crackers break code for evil. Here’s some info from a great site which helped me better understand the world of a hack or crack or whatever the heck they are. hackingalert.com

Personally I notified several bloggers this week that they’d been infected with this stupid lil click trash. yes it’s a click virus.

Who Would Want to Make This Trash ?

this thing only has one purpose – to fake clicks

now we all know that this is behaviour created by people who want to cheat a click based reward system. why do it ? well lets just say that somefolks have no initiative. they think everything should be handed to them on a Silver Platter. I don’t think so crackers..

Check out this info on the Virus and then below it I give you a remedy

This is the Virus = Trojan-Clicker.JS.Small.cTrojan Clickers

This family of Trojans redirects victim machines to specified websites or other Internet resources. Clickers either send the necessary commands to the browser or replace system files where standard Internet urls are stored (e.g. the ‘hosts’ file in MS Windows).

Clickers are used:

To raise the hit-count of a specific site for advertising purposes
To organize a DoS attack on a specified server or site
To lead the victim to an infected resource where the machine will be attacked by other malware (viruses or Trojans)

What to do if you think you’ve been hacked:
