My Blog
Redirected to MalwareAlarm
By Derek  •  December 2, 2007
I have receive several replies from CNA Forum that there is a 'virus' in my blog. After investigating, I realize that my site will occasionally be redirected to a MalwareAlarm website as shown below. (Please do not visit this site)

I did a check on MalwareAlarm and apparently I'm not the only one with such a problem. There are a few sites like Dynamoo and Spyware Sucks who has already documented this. I suspect that this malware is caused by a banner which I included in the morning. I have since removed the banner and have invited some people to test. So far so good. If you have not seen the above screenshot on your computer, you are not likely to be affected. However I will recommend that any person who visited TheFinance.sg on Sunday, December 2, to scan their computer with Spybot-S&D, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, or another similar, free, reputable anti-malware software. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    I’m having this problem on my website as well. Can you tell me what banner was causing this?

    Chad,

    I only had one banner and that was an advert from Commission Junction.

    You may want to install tracer program to check which page or script is loading this.

    Regards
