When I was checking the the web traffic sources shown as to where traffic has come from on my Write Publish Profit blog, I saw a malicious hacker site had visited it. IMPORTANT TIP: When you see a site you are not familiar with DO NOT click on it from your blog traffic panel; it may contain a virus. Retype the site into a search such as Google Search and find out what others are saying about it. If it is a legitimate site, you may consider contacting them and seeing if they have a link on their site and if so thank them.
For instance, I just created and published this blog recently and I saw that I
have a strange looking site as a traffic source: www3 DOT bestbxcleaner DOT com
(I've added the word DOT here so it is not a “live” link in which you may
inadvertently click it and get a virus!). Do not “copy and paste” any address
into to search engine because simply by “touching it” the link may open thereby
opening the virus.
I wrote the address down on paper, typed it into Google
and saw others talking about it.
It’s clear that this is a nasty site simply
out to hurt people and their blogs and sites. Be careful when seeing Google results too not to click on
something that looks “suspicious” as well. But do click on some of these forums
etc. and see what others are saying. I found one site that seems legit and
offers other sites and links of what NOT to click along with this word of
advice: “How do i get rid of
it?
One of the most easiest solution is not to click on the link
which appear in your statistics details. Be aware please do not click, But
there are many scripts or programs which are easily available on Internet.” You
