Malware Experience..

Few weeks ago, my blogger friends informed me that my blog infected with Malware. To be frank, I really don't have an idea about that since I never came across with thist thing. Till one day, Zezebel told me to use 'Google Chrome'. And she's correct, I found out that my blog detected with Malware. Google chrome can detect the Malware, than Modzilla. I frequently use Modzilla as my browser. The reason I can't detect the Malware before was because, the Modzilla might be an outdated version.

Thanks to Zezebel, Mrs Graig and Azura for telling me that my blog was contained with Malware. They advice me to look at it and throw out some link that might lead my blog to Malware.

I tell you, this must be a current challenges that attacking our blogging world. You can even Google for 'Malware' and you'll find out most of active bloggers experienced this problem. I was upset but still managed to stay calm. I try myself to search for alternatives through other's blog to clean my blog. Some of them advice that, first of all delete the link that contains suspicious element that connects to your blog..

I did that. 

My blog is know clean from Malware. 

Thank GOD. . I don't have to create a new blog then.

What is Malware actually?..

According to Wikipedia, Malware (also: scumware), short for malicious software, is software designed to secretly access a computer system without the owner's informed consent. The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.

The term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, including true viruses. Software is considered to be malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features. 

Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and unwanted software or program. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, for instance in the legal codes of several U. S. states, including California and West Virginia. Malware is not the same as defective software, that is a software that has a legitimate purpose but contains harmful bugs. To read more about Malware, click HERE.
