‘Reported Attacked site’ or ‘This site may harm your computer’ Tips for cleaning and securing your web site.





Recently 2 website owners contact me to resolve their Reported Attacked site issue (Please see the above image for reference). These are the steps which can help website owners to restore and maintaining a non infected website.

1. First and foremost make sure the system through which you upload files should have licensed antivirus and anti malware installed.

2. Try to use ftp software which offer secure file transfer between your PC and the server.

3. Ftp password should be very tough; it should be alpha numeric with some special characters.

4. Remove write permission from all the files unless it is necessary.

5. Identifying the badware behavior. The 3 most common form of badware are malicious scripts, .htaccess redirect, and hidden iFrames. Once you have located the code that is causing the issue, simply remove it from your code or if you have back-up of your website, simply overwrite the files.

Designed custom logo for RASTA ROOTS, INC.



Recently I have designed a custom logo for RastaRoots Inc. Rasta Roots believe in Rastafarian. Rastafarian is from Africa/Jamaica, they believe in Life, love life and equal love to all. Black, Red, Gold and Green are their colors. Africa is their home. So by keeping everything in my mind I have designed this new logo for them. I have used Jamaica and Africa’s map/layout, their colors and company name in the logo.
