I’m not really sure that the original Site Advisor Module, Firefox addon is a real malware that infect my firefox but when I disable this one, it has no more ads, the hidden code in textarea,
I got stuck for 3 days when I played around in my website to post some article in the textarea box, I found a long hidden code added automatic after I submit or even I just started the page that has textarea html tag in it.
As example: I write this and save as a page
<textarea rows=”10″ cols=”55″></textarea>
When I browse it on my firefox, I found that at the end of the box has random ads added while loading, the ads mostly related to a site: www.skepter.com / www.skepter.co.uk
Textarea Malware Firefox
I tried to disable all addons and I found the hidden code lost so I start to enable the add on one by one and I found an add on called: “Site Advisor Module (Created by SiteAdvisor Corp.)” that cause this.
Virus Malware SiteAdvisor Module 8.17
The malware’s behavior:
– Any page we open on firefox that has HTML tag: TextArea automatically give many break (ENTER) – around 20 breaks from end of the text so you may see a scroll bar even you input only one line. Go down there, you may see many ads or one ad as:
<a href=http://www.skepter.co.uk/ >free classified</a>
<a href=http://www.skepter.ru >Ñайт объÑвлений</a>
<a href=http://www.areanda.com/ >раÑкрутка Ñайта в поиÑковых ÑиÑтемах</a>
<a href=http://www.savetubevideo.com/ >youtube downloader</a>
<a href=http://ddl.name/ >download music</a>
<a href=http://www.skepter.com/ >classified ads</a>
<a href=http://www.tula.skepter.ru/ >объÑÐ²Ð»ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð±ÐµÑплатно Тула</a>
I searched on official firefox addons site, I haven’t found this addon so it may come with some other sites that browse on this computer but I’m not sure about this.
It’s so bad if this advertising company does this. They make a bad business without any morality.
Spread up to all software developers in the world, do not do such bad things to destroy or disturb others… try to do value things for people…
