Got An Anonymous Call

I received an anonymous call this morning. I don't have any idea who was calling on the phone. That was also the reason why I didn't mentioned the German standard greetings by telling the family name and a greeting like "guten Morgen" (good morning), guten Tag (good day), etc. I was asking the other line of who she was because I am quite afraid that these might be one of those telephone callers who are scamming again. The first time I asked her, she did not answered because I said it in English. When I already asked her in German language, she immediately told me who and from where she was calling. I did not expected that the telephone number of my dentist is already private now. The secretary told me that I can already have another dental appointment tomorrow.

I am just very careful now with anonymous callers because we already had horrible experience from them. That was also the reason why we changed our telephone number into private. We are glad that we did it. The stress from anonymous callers is finally over.

What Are Spam Blogs?

As with many powerful tools, blogging services can be both used and abused. The ease of creating and updating webpages with Blogger has made it particularly prone to a form of behavior known as link spamming. Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site.

Spam blogs cause various problems, beyond simply wasting a few seconds of your time when you happen to come across one. They can clog up search engines, making it difficult to find real content on the subjects that interest you. They may scrape content from other sites on the web, using other people's writing to make it look as though they have useful information of their own. And if an automated system is creating spam posts at an extremely high rate, it can impact the speed and quality of the service for other, legitimate users.

The evil might even access your computer and email address which is really very scary and horrible!!!

1. As I opened the first time my computer last Saturday, I wonder it is not the same anymore. I lost some settings on it.
2. As I opened my blogger account, I was terribly shocked because it was redirected to a pop-up advertisements.
3. The screen was totally covered by pop-ups which made the processing very very slow. Sometimes the computer even got frozen and don't processed anymore.
4. As per infos and help of some other friends blogger twinks, Jojo,
and dashing smiles, I was able to resolved it.

Please do the following recommended steps, like what I also did to my blogs!!

1. Immediately remove your 3rd party widgets like feedjit, rankwidget and country counter or neocounter as the hacker hacked these sites so they can come to our blogs.
2. Run immediately your anti virus program to eliminate the so called Trojan virus like what had friend Twinks said.. I also have a Symantec Norton anti-virus..thanks God I found no viruses....I also have a Fire Fox browser which is proven to be one of the best browser.. I already run my anti-virus twice to make it sure. hopefully will run it again tomorrow.
3. also check your documents/computer settings, as I also lost some settings in my computer.
4. I also made a back-up of my my files coz I don't want to lose my blogs as I already made a lot of hard work for these..

For more info you can also visit the blogs of twinks, Jojo, , to give you more infos as I am also not a computer expert but I am happy that I was able to resolved it...I hope it's not coming again!!! Let's just help each other for a common purpose..
