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:

I have uploaded the same two files to Dropbox:

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

Serves them well

Indeed, serves them well for using a) Skype and b) Windows. The two put together gave them this.  Hopefully, some people will begin learning their lessons.
