			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the past few days I was solving a problem on a site and the problem was this;  The site has an iframe virus, the site pings teleporn.net and most links redirect to ask.com or teleporn.net which is a banned site, the site was banned  because it installs a virus on your system without knowing it.  This problem has bothered me most of the time because I am having a hard time where to fix the teleporn.net redirection.  So how did I solve the problem?  First thing was that I investigated every file that I have.  And there I found out that a script was appended on the PHP and HTML files I have on the server.  To have a picture how the script looks like, I have an image below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-690 aligncenter" title="virus-image" src="http://www.icpep.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/virus-image.jpg" alt="virus-image" width="493" height="390" /></p>
<p><span id="more-689"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><img class="size-full wp-image-692 aligncenter" title="iframe-virus" src="http://www.icpep.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/iframe-virus.jpg" alt="iframe-virus" width="528" height="40" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-691 aligncenter" title="avast" src="http://www.icpep.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/avast.jpg" alt="avast" width="357" height="409" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I downloaded all the files on my local computer and I have an avast antivirus which is also cool to use though its annoying sometimes.  Let it scan the downloaded files and everytime it detects the script I just erased the apended script and make sure you don&#8217;t just comment the script because it will still be detected as a virus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I cleaned all the files removing the iframe and the script that was appended.  As I have observed it writes mostly on index.php, index.html, login.php, login.html, auth.php  files.  This was causing the redirection and ping of the teleporn.net site which is a banned site.  Sooner your will be banned as well for linking to the site and this will be a very bad reputation for your site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How did the ask.com redirection link fixed?  Look at your .htaccess file erase everything that has the code below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-693 aligncenter" src="http://www.icpep.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/htaccess-redirection.jpg" alt="htaccess-redirection" width="513" height="421" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After deleting the code seen above then the link would be fine now.  So that way I solved all of the problems thanks to AVAST anti virus that it helped me a lot in solving the problem.  You should also check some every directory because  there are .htaccess files that are being created with redirection of banned sites.  You can also try using other anti virus that can detect the script that is being appended.  This is is more faster than doing it manually.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope I have helped someone who has the same problem I have though searches on this kind of problem very low.  I hope this will be a great help for you.  Send me a comment if how it works for you.</p>

Go to <tt>User</tt> <tt>Configuration\Administrative</tt> <tt>Templates\Start Menu</tt> <tt>and</tt> <tt>Taskbar</tt>.  If you click on the Extended tab at the bottom of the screen, you&#8217;ll be shown a  description of the setting that you&#8217;ve highlighted, along with an explanation of  each of the options. Settings you can customize include showing the My Pictures  icon, the Run menu, and the My Music icon on the Start Menu; locking the Taskbar  so that it can&#8217;t be customized; and many others. To change a setting,  double-click on it and choose the options from the menu it displays.<span id="more-155"></span> There&#8217;s not room in this hack to go into detail about each of  the settings you can change, so I&#8217;ll tell you about some of my favorites. I&#8217;ve  never been a big fan of My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music. In fact, I  never use those folders, so there&#8217;s no point having them on the Start Menu. The  settings in the Group Policy Editor let you get rid of them.  If you share your PC with other people, the Group Policy Editor is a great way  to make sure that no one can change the Start Menu and Taskbar except you. So  when you have the Start Menu and Taskbar working the way you like, they&#8217;ll stay  that way until you want to change them. Enable &#8220;Prevent changes to Taskbar and  Start Menu Settings,&#8221; and no one will be able to change their settings except  you. Select &#8220;Remove Drag-and-drop context menus on the Start Menu,&#8221; and no one  except you will be able to remove or reorder items on the Start Menu. You can  even stop anyone else from shutting down Windows by selecting &#8220;Remove and  prevent access to the Shut Down command.&#8221;  <script type="text/javascript"><!--

<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p class="docText" style="text-align: justify;">Among the many entries here are a lot of pointless ones, by the way. You can  remove the Log Off entry on the Start Menu, for example, which certainly isn&#8217;t  high on my list of must-haves. But who knows, you may want to do that or any of  the many other changes the Group Policy Editor allows. Go in there yourself and  muck around; you&#8217;ll find plenty to change.</p>

<p>There are some tools and procedures that can tell with 99.44 percent accuracy whether your computer has a virus. Here are the actions to take:</p>
<p>1.  Find out whether your computer has antivirus software:<br />
 Check for any Anti-virus software installed on your computer.  To do this just Click Start&gt;control Panel&gt;Security Center.</p>
<p>2.  Find out whether your antivirus software is up to date:<br />
 You can always know whether your anti virus is up to date because most of the antivirus gives a warning whenever your antivirus is not up to date.</p>
<p>3.  Scan your computer for viruses: When you know that your computer has antivirus software — and that it’s up to date — you can use it to scan your computer for viruses.<br />
 If you have an Internet connection, you might think that you can take a shortcut and try one of those online virus scanning tools — but don’t do that at this point! The risks of connecting to the Internet without antivirus software and a firewall are greater than the benefit you’d get from knowing whether you have a virus — and you could end up with a virus if you use the ’Net unprotected. (It’s like drinking unboiled water from a polluted river — think Montezuma’s Revenge here).  For some really good reasons not to use an online scanning tool as a first resort, because this might be frauds and could be sources for viruses.  Suffice to say: Make sure you’re protected before you venture out.<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p>4.  Remove the virus: If your virus-scanning tool finds a virus on your computer, there are two basic outcomes:<br />
 • Automatic removal: Chances are your virus scanning tool will be able to fix your computer by removing the virus. Most of the time this is the case. Newer virus tools will, in effect, tell you, “Hey you, I found a virus on your computer. Do you want me to clean it up or not?” I really cannot imagine why you would want to say no.<br />
 Personally I think you should just get rid of the virus right away and deal with the consequences, however mild or severe, afterward.<br />
 • Manual removal — and more work: If, however, your virus-scanning tool tells you that it cannot get rid of the virus, a little more work is in order. For instance, you may need to download a special virus removal tool from your antivirus software vendor; such tools are sometimes built for specific, hardto-remove viruses.<br />
 When you get rid of viruses, you’ve made a good start. (Done? Who said anything about done?) Review the ways you use your computer: Did something you do regularly get you into virus trouble in the first place? By identifying the things you do that expose you to threats like viruses, you can reduce your exposure by doing some things differently. Preventive actions — the cyber equivalent of washing your hands before handling food — take a little time, but they can save a lot of misery later.<br />
