WARNING: If You See Casino Ads On Your Screen, Please Read!

Update:

This is not a joke!

Today, I received two more emails from readers saying they see a ton of casino ads on their screen on my blog. Please read the information below. If you see a lot of text containing the words “casino” or “slot machines”, your computer is infected and you probably picked up the malware or trojan on Beyonceworld.net.

Click HERE for an example of what an infection looks like.

According to Google.com, Beyonceworld.net is listed as suspicious and visiting this web site may harm your computer!

Google says the site and forums are acting as “intermediaries” for hackers who install malicious virus and trojans on your computer when you visit the pages!

Of the 330 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-11-18.

Malicious software includes 2 scripting exploit(s), 2 trojan(s), 1 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 4 new process(es) on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 4 domain(s), including ghostusers.info/, seo-traff.com/, online-counter.cn/.

3 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including sploj.ru/, trafftds.ru/, bwboard.net/. Read more…

How do you know your computer is infected?

  • You will see an unusual increase in pop up activity when visiting other sites
  • A proliferation of Casino ads and popups
  • Your computer will be sluggish
  • Websites and blogs will load slowly
  • Computer suddenly reboots by itself

It is possible that Beyonceworld.net and the forums were hacked and the webmaster is unaware. So if you’re a member of the forums, you might want to let them know.

Google strongly recommends that you avoid visiting Beyonceworld.net to prevent harm to your computer!
