Introduction

There is some confusion involving the orange Flash ad. So we’ve decided to spend a lot of time and explain to our visitors how it started and what is going on from the beginning. And they can make their own conclusions.






Beginning

In mid-December 2007, we started seeing something different on our websites. First, we saw white-yellow Flash ads (a young man in it) that are related to MP3 music. We then started seeing an orange horizontal Flash ad (728 x 90 pixels). When this orangeFlash ad started appearing, we also started experience something unpleasant on our websites. Involuntary redirection to Malware Alarm‘s website (malware-scan.com)… There was always this orange Flash ad running at our website before and after the involuntary redirection. It’s not like we have something against the individual or company who ran this particular Flash ad. Inevitably, we came to believe that this orange Flash ad was used as a medium to redirect us and our visitors to the malware scan website.
