How To Remove Google Search Virus warning Alert? This Site may harm Your Computer

If your website is facing similar problem while searching then you need to make sure that..

1) Your ‘.htaccess’ file hacked.

Some one hacked your ‘.htaccess’ file and added malicious redirection codes in to it. What it dose means! It redirects the Google or any other search engine request to malicious domains, so for this you can do one thing like Remove all ‘.htaccess’ which are infected or replace it with original one.

2) Make sure your website is not affiliated with any Mallware related website or activates.

Your site may infected by iframe attack where hackers inserted JavaScript iframe codes into your first or last line of index pages of every folders. This calls an external malicious page in to visitor’s computer and loads nasty programs. The codes will be inserted in encoded format, so look like “%20%77%69%6e” in a file. You need to clean this.

After this Google will review your website manually and, Once they will make sure that it doesn’t host or distribute any type of Malware, they will remove the identification from search results and it will re-index it.

Update:-

I forgot to tell the Reason and Precaution for this problem, here it is …

This can happen for various reasons like:

- poor/compromised account/FTP password, which allows hackers to guess the password [or use brutforce tools] and get unauthorized access.
- user’s computer infected by viruses, which is controlled by hackers. In this situation, customer’s uploads also get infected.
- poor scripts, which allows hackers to insert various malformed queries and remotely execute the code and perform intended action
- Virus effected theme selection for the application
- Installing application which are downloaded form third party sites; mainly not genuine sites.

You will have to ensure that:

- generate a strong password combination [for account, ftp, database etc]
- scan local computer with good antivirus, anti spy ware programs and clean bad programs.
- keep the software up-to-date with vendors/developers, and seek their support/forums for any known vulnerabilities/fixes/workarounds available.

IBM Builds Worlds Smallest 22nm SRAM Memory

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under Computer, Electronics · Comment 

IBM announced the first working static random access memory (SRAM) for the 22nm (nanometer) technology node. A nanometer is one one-billionth of a meter or about 80,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Worlds first and ever reported smallest working SRAM cell.

The SRAM cell utilizes a conventional six-transistor design and has an area of 0.1um2, breaking the previous SRAM scaling barriers. SRAM cell size is a key technology metric in the semiconductor industry, and this work demonstrates IBM and its partners’ continued leadership in cutting-edge process technology.

22 nm is two generations away in chip manufacturing. The next generation is 32 nm, where IBM and its partners are in development with their leading 32 nm high-K metal gate technology.
