1.) Last night at 4:30am while making a blog post, I tried to search Audrey Zubiri's pics on my blog (wanted to check if I already blogged about my shoot with her), and that's when the warning messages appeared.

3.) After 6 hours I woke up to a million messages on fb and twitter saying they can't access my blog and that their blogs got infected too. :(

4. I panicked and was acting cuhrazeeeeeeee! Mich had to grab the mouse and shove me away from the computer to prevent further harm to thyself. Haha. Anyway, she just followed Google 's instructions & asked me to delete some ads on my blog...
* Verified my blog by inserting a meta tag provided by Google . Just go to www.google.com/webmasters/tools. Just follow the instructions. Insert the meta tag provided after tag (open your template code) and then click save.
* Click on verify blog under webmasters. After it has been verified, select your blog and a malware message will appear. Click on details and then look for the culprit (provided by google ) and delete delete delete! For my blog (and the others as well), the culprit was sitemeter.com!!! The infected url was inserted there via javascript.
* After deleting the infected outside link or html, go back to webmasters tool and click on request for review. Wait for a few hours (so google could check your blog and implement changes, it was 6 hours for me) and your blog will go back to normal again!
* Change your passwords to a secure one. I changed all my passwords, just for safety. :/
Hope this helps! I know a lot of you encountered this before and are experiencing it now. :/ As for me, I'm just thankful this ordeal is over. Thanks to everyone who showed concern, messaged me and helped me! Thanks Mich for helping me! It pays to have a techie/software engineer jowa! LOL.
Be cyber safe everyone!
