Weird stuff again (only for Window$ users)
Okay, some of you are getting redirected to http://x.vindicosuite.com/imp/?l=169943&t=h&u=&r=&rnd=82206905 with a title page of "Advert".
x.vindicosuite.com appears to be related to some kind of malware.
Some of you have reported: Trojan.Win32.Generic
I doubt that it comes from Google who has a very solid security.
However, others have had that problem too: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/blogger/_rwBSluJk5k
One person claims SiteMeter might be compromised, so just in case I removed it too (it is useless anyway)
It ain't coming from my machines, none of them are Window$.
Mediafire uses Java, so maybe your JVMs have been compromised?
Or Mediafire is compromised. I doubt it.
Dunno.
You can grab the same files one by one from these two locations:
http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/20150
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/03/364938.html
I have uploaded the same two files to Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0pr9zccl1hba97l/AABdyHXHgHRIChJ8a7FoBz5na?dl=0
And, just for the record. This is not the CIA, NSA or Mossad or some dark powers that be.
This is your computer.
And the real solution is STOP USING WINDOW$! That is what the "Win32" in the trojan ID stands for: Microsoft Windows 32 bit. Linux, BSD, Android and Mac machines will not be affected by this.
If you must use Window$, please at least use Firefox with the NoScript add-on.
I am sorry to have to tell you that I don't have the time or, frankly, inclination to find out what is going wrong this time. Using Window$ is a de-facto consent to have your machine hacked, trojaned, virus-infected, backdoored, cracked, taken over, etc. etc. etc. A no amount of "anti-virus" "computer security" "firewalls" or any other external tools will protect you. In fact, most of them just make your machines slower and less stable.
Whatever is going on, I am very sorry for it but, forgive me, this is not my problem. This is your problem.
Kind regards and good-luck,
The Saker
