Default Malware Detection and Removal from vBadvanced Plugin

Today I received an email from Google saying that one of my sites, PureSportsCar.com, was delivering malware. Since this is the first time I've received this type of message from Google I wondered if it was even legitimate. To test it I brought up my Windows XP partition on my Mac, launched IE, and went to the puresportscar.com site. Sure enough my virus/malware detector (Malware Bytes) threw a warning.

With a few minutes I had found the issue and removed it. Since others may also run into this in their forums I put together a short video on how I found and removed it from my site.

The bottom line is after you watch the video check your own site, remove it if you happen to have your site infected, and then upgrade to the latest version of vBadvanced (currently 3.2.2).

Click on the following link to watch the video:

Now I'm just waiting on Google to run another review and clear it.
