Remove Stop censorship black box

Hi, I just changed the template of my blog, and while I was at it I rearranged some of the blog widgets and removed a couple. But actually this rearrangement was brought on by a problem.

You see, I joined the stop censorship campaign. So to join, one way was to add a widget that popped up an announcement. Another was to add a black box linking to the website over the name of my blog.

Now this was only a temporary measure, even if I still support them. But now I couldnt remove the black box! I emailed them and they said the code to remove the box should be like this:

http://americancensorship.org/images/stop-censorship-small.png);background-position:center
center;background-repeat:no-repeat;"
href="http://americancensorship.org">

But I couldnt find this code anywhere in the blog design template. Honestly, I plain forgot where I pasted the code. Maybe I should have made it its own widget so it would be easy to see and remove. Fortunately, as a workaround, changing the template removed the problem.

Philippine Blog directory

Someone is starting a directory for Filipino Blogs.

I'm on Facebook

I finally have a facebook account. I'm linking it to my blog via feeds.

I have no idea what I'm doing , but i'll learn!

Hitman pro rubs out Google redirect

I was hit by a really really persistent piece of malware recently.

symptoms
1. When I try to sign in to a google service like this blog at blogger.com or gmail.com, i get redirected to a russian looking website (see pic below) after a "this certificate is expired something something" warning

2. jdownloader doesnt work. I just see the java program in task manager. If i run jdownloader again I see 2 java's.
3. does not affect my desktop, only my laptop
4. switching ISP's from smart bro share it to pldt dsl doesnt work
5. IE, firefox and ff private browsing are also affected

Obviously this is limited to my laptop, probably malware.I just learned that this is called the google redirect malware or TDL3 rootkit (see the words in the picture at the top of this page).

I tried scanning with my av, found viruses on my laptop and on my readyboost flash drive. Spybot search and destroy is clean. Usually scanning in safe mode gets everything but this time it did not work.Still getting the symptoms.

I cleaned the HOSTS file. I emptied windows, firefox and IE temp files. I deleted cookies. Nothing worked. Fortunately tipidpc.com suggested that I try this program.

Hitman pro is 30 day trial ware. Its cloudware so it works by scanning your pc and looking for suspicious files and uploading them to a central server or something where 8 anti-malware programs check it out. So this does not work without an internet connection and it has all the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing. Found 3 malwares:

c:\windows\system32\activedsa.exe
c:\hqpteg.exe
c:\windows\linkinfo.dll

i dont know which of the 3 was the culprit but whatever, blogger and jdownloader are now working.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO HELP ON tipidpc, pc experts and pcforums!!

I dont know if changing my AV to another one would help.

Blogging is the new media tool used for making an online journal. It is also considered a website but on a more personal approach. It has been used for so many years but when Brian Gorell started to blog ,the whole world was scandalize and most of them started to blog. He used blogging for his AIDS awareness advocacy. His blog became remarkable and followed by millions of people. He still blogs up to now.

First step is to start up your blog.The simple process how to earn with blogging. You only need perseverance, patience, and good idea.

Famous free blogsites:
1. Blogspot

4. Typepad

But did you know that you can earn from blogging? How ? Let me share to you the advice of my friend Mr. Dexter Panganiban. He said that earning from blogging is categorized into two: Passive and Active.

"Passive income are income generated thru Ads which is shown in the Blogs that you use.
The are lots of company where we can really enroll so that You can have a Passive income. Those site that can gives a passive income are those site involve involved in CPC [ Cost Per Click ] or PPC [ Pay Per Click ] Platform. Well I use the following Site to get those Passive income :

1. Ads by Google
2. Bidvertiser
3. Kontera
4. Nuffnang
5. Project Wonderful "

"Active income are those income generated when you do something like paid post or a review or when somebody pays you to make the review.

It is actually an earning after you make your task. Sometimes this kind of earning rocks and way far behind the passive income. Although sometimes it is reverse.

These are the paid posting sites I used:

1. Reviewme
2. Payperpost
3. Blogvertise
4. Sponsoredreviews
5. Blog4reviews
6. Blogadvertisingstore

Just be sure you have Paypal account upon enrolling because they pay you thru paypal, Happy Blogging.
