Summary: If you are with adverlets and you have the same problem with your blog being directed to adbaaz.com, remove the adverlets html script.
Full Story:
A few minutes ago, I visited my blog and i was directed to adbaaz.com
So, I googled around and found out that this problem has been around since september 2007. It was reported that this kind of problem is kinda irregular and freaking annoying! When someone mentioned that it could be some sort of a spyware or malware, I freaked out and scan my com with every antivirus there is known to mankind. I was so paranoid that i started downloading freeware that scans for spyware, adware and malware.
When I calmed down, I noticed that this kind of problem only happens to certain blog. Funny that the problem doesn't occur when i go into facebook, friendster or yahoo.
So then, I went into my own blog once more to check out my html script. I Found nothing odd and yet i got directed to the freaking annoying adbaaz website. It was then i noticed adverlets.com being written in that adbaaz website!
So, the natural thing to do is to visit adverlets.com to find out if any other people have the same problem. Surprised and shocked, it states that adverlets expired on 3rd jan 2008. WoW!
WoW! I removed my adverlets html script and everything went back to normal. My blog is now a-ok!!
Apparently the problem is with adverlets html script. It seems that the adverlets.com was not renew and caused all blogs with advertlets banners to be directed to adbaaz.
Feeling relief, it wasn't a bug or a spyware to caused my blog to go haywire. The culprit had been adverlets.com. WoW! Great job!
Now that everyone is feeling dissatisfied with adverlets, it'll be interesting to know what kind of method they'll use to redeem themselves.
If you are with adverlets and you have the same problem with your blog being directed to adbaaz.com, remove the adverlets html script.
If you are not with adverlets and you have the same problem, it could be a spyware in your com.
A comment or two will be greeted with warm hands.
