What a mess!!!

Well...I did not get any pop ups today from my blog but I did get some from other blogs. And guess what? It was a pornography site. I was disgusted. My husband (jokingly) told me that I searched it and it was not really a pop up. Ahhhhhh NO!

I am so happy that there are a lot of bloggers whom I was able to help on their pop up problem. I am glad they were able to find the modified code. I guess Blogger staff need to figure out how to protect their members from hackers. I mean, we use their service because it is really great. I hope they protect us as loyal members from any kind of bugs that destroy our blogs.

I hate to think that those hackers earn money by putting their code into someone else's site. That is just not right. Why can't they just earn money without disturbing other people's hard work? We try to make a living and earn some extra cash and somebody else just makes it more difficult to achieve.

Yesterday, I discovered a safer browser to use. That is FIREFOX browser. They said that it has some features on it that (they said) helps you avoid spywares or viruses from sites that you visit. I used to use internet explorer and it really sucked. Internet Explorer hang up my computer a lot and I had to restart my computer three times while dropping entrecards. Now with Firefox, it has been great for me. It is faster and easy to use. When you visit another blogs or sites, it opens another tab ( not the annoying separate window). It is very good for entrecard dropping. I suggest for you to use this browser.


I hope that your pop ups are gone and blogging is back to normal. Keep writing and do not give up.

Yesterday, I dropped entrecards and surfed other sites to get credits. I found other blogs with PAYPOPUP on them. They are annoying so I just close them right away. When I checked my blog, I got a pop up which was weird because I did not install anything. Like I said on my previous post, somebody hacked my blogger blog and I fixed it temporarily.

This morning, the pop up came back and I could not find anything that makes this bug works. No HTML/Java Script that is suspicious in my page elements or in my template HTML. I looked at them one by one because I was just so determined to remove it.

My friend a.k.a. Twinks has the same problem and I believe she fixed it temporarily yesterday. When I visited her site, my computer hang up and I could not navigate or leave a comment into her blog because of the pop ups that kept on coming.

Twinks, these (below) are the things that I did today and it helped remove the pop ups. I hope they will not come back anymore.

1. Scan your computer drives for viruses using an antivirus software. I am using Norton AntiVirus.

2. Go to the TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES under the C:\documents and settings. I deleted everything that was stored. I had a hard time finding it but I found it because I was just determined.

3. Somebody might have installed a software into your computer...maybe a Trojan virus. Like I said in the previous post, use LAVASOFT and SPYBOT to delete those spy softwares.

4. Delete all the cookies and cache in your computer. Sweep them all out.

5. Change your blogger password as soon as possible. I will change the password periodically. They are smart in an evil way so they might change your password on your behalf, get your email address and figure out your email address password. That would be very scary.

6. Back up your blog using Blog Backup Online just in case. We do not want to loose all our posts in just a second.

I hope you get this message since your blog is kind of frozen right now. And for those who have the same problem, I hope those things will help you delete the bug.

That is right! He is ready to attack for his mom.

Somebody had hacked my blog. I checked my blog today and a pop-up window opened for advertisers. I did not add any pop-ups at all. I was so frustrated finding the code in my template that says popup. There was none. I googled about deleting pop-ups in my blog and there is no information to help me.

I ran these softwares to delete the parasite softwares or viruses in my computer.

*Norton AntiVirus
*Spybot's 'Search and Destroy
*Lavasoft's 'Ad-Aware'

Those softwares found some 'data miners' and I deleted all of them. I checked my blog and the pop-up was still there. I was so upset. I thought I would have to delete this blog.

After a while, I found an article from Blogger Help about pop-ups. This statement "These add-ons can trigger pop-up advertisements, redirect you to unwanted sites, modify your browser, or even alter the appearance of a Blog*Spot blog. " gave me an idea. I checked all of my page elements with HTML/Java Script on them one by one looking for the unwanted URLs. And, I found it. The hacker used my Feedjit script. The evil modified the code and I could tell right away.

Oh! It would have been horrible.
