Worm of computer, Win32/Gamarue.gen!A attack!

As I opened my computer, there was an alert message saying that there is a malware in the computer and the Windows Defender is taking action to remove it. When I checked the Windows Defender, it showed in its History tab that there are two malwares and both are quarantined. I hurriedly removed them both under Quarantined items and the All detected items and was happy about my action. But when I started the computer in the next session, the alert message came on again as the computer is affected with malware! I Googled and found the first one, Win32/Gamarue.gen!A to be a worm that replicates itself and infects all computers it gets access to. Yes, I got it through my USB that I used to get a print-out from a computer centre! Microsoft website simply advised me to remove it by its Windows Defender Antivirus software, that hadn't worked in my case. Then, I accessed a blog in Malware Tips.Com that came into rescue of my computer from this nuisance, the worm infection. I clicked the Open menu in the right corner of the Mozilla Firefox and clicked on the Open Help Menu. It led me to a list. In the list clicked on Troubleshooting Information. On a box that displayed, Refresh Firefox, I clicked. That's all. The browser was refreshed. Next time when I started the computer, this worm didn't return to infect my computer! But what about the other malware that was first detected by my Windows Defender? That is to be my next post's content - content of discussion only!

Defying Malware's urging!

As I was searching for images in Google.com with the search words, ‘Spit bugs’, I clicked on an image that displayed a dracula-like woman. It led me through a website (www.dale.se/msi-aquatic-bugs/) to another one (www.islandeyes.com). Then a web page that exactly resembled MY COMPUTER page (of Windows XP) appeared. In it each folder was shown in red coloured words to have a varying quantity of viruses. Then, a dialogue box opened and urged to click on the ‘remove’ button to remove all those viruses from the folders! I was worried and stunned first. But I then deleted the page by clicking on the Close button (X). I scanned the computer for any infecting viruses. But there were no viruses at all. That proved that there was a malware or a spy ware programme. To get a screen-shot of the website, I repeated all it again. But I could not get that web page again! Do you have such an experience? Share it with me.

Removed links to restore traffic!

Recently, I was alerted by my friend that I shall get only a few visitors to my blog! He added that every Google Chrome using visitor is shown that my blog contains some malware. He advised me also to remove a 'third party widget' in the blog to get cleared off the malware. By using Google Chrome myself I viewed my blog and confirmed it: Good old Blogrolling.com, that is advised by all to incorporate link-rolls with it and increase the visitors' traffic, is now of offending nature! I removed all the widgets and links concerned with it, and now I do not get that warning anymore.
You can view here the explanation given by the offending website, that has announced its closure on 1st November 2010: RPC.Blogrolling
