Beware of ww4(dot)savegco.antivir(dot)com

The website ww4. savegco.anitvir .com is a problem to many new Blogger and website owners, they have complaint suddent change in their Stats and can see this website as referring site. Let's see what's it. 
This website have become a headache of many Bloggers, you have probably seen it on your Stats in Referring sites section, but wait, is it ok? are real people seeing your site referring from the site mentioned ? 

Update : We think these referral spams have now cooled down and it's effects are getting down. But now a new type of spam is rising, so beware of it. You can read about it here http://stramaxon.blogspot.com/2012/07/anonymous-comments-on-blogs-beware-its.html

No ! It's not all okay, the site is an spam site and contains Malicious viruses, they appear to refer some visitors to your site, but they are not really, it's all their computer which is increasing your Pageviews to get a place in your Stats, and when somebody sees they might just click on it, nothing can be worse than that, clicking on these links are dangerous, if you don't have a good antivirus, then they can do anything means anything. So beware of these spams, not clicking on those links are the only way to get rid of these.

This is not the only website which is in news for referrer spams, there are more website's that you might see in your stats that may be suspicious, here you can have a list of domains which are not bit famous for referrer spam. 

1. www4(dot)savegco-antivir(dot)com/
2. www4(dot)safe-vochecker(dot)com/
3. hoodiastock(dot)com/
4. domar(dot)ru/

6. www4(dot)best-aruchecker(dot)com/
7. www3(dot)personal-scanera(dot)com/
8. www3(dot)bestbxcleaner(dot)com/

I have replaced the . with (dot) so that you don't click on any of the links mistakenly and catch a malware or virus from any of these sites. There are more referrer spam sites you might see in your stats, so if you feel the links is not related to your content then just prevent from clicking on the links, as the main aim of these sites are to make you click on their links, if you find any new domain that you think is suspicious, free feel to let us know and we will post the link here.

We want our Blogger network to be clean and green, so if you see any links in your Stats then please think twice before clicking it.

Owners of newer blogs, with less established traffic, will see their pageview counts fluctuate more.

Referer spam affects Stats, and similar website activity log summaries - but third party activity logs will be immune to its effects.

Be aware how Stats is unique - which leads to this problem.

Stop clicking on the links in your Stats logs.  That's the only way to make referer spam stop.

Blogger Page Title doesn't show correctly for Dynamic templates in Firefox

Blogger's blog are facing problem to show the accurate Page Title on Firefox tab, instead of showing the Page Title, it's shows the Url

Blogger Blogs with Dynamic template aren't showing page title on Tab of Firefox, every blog with Dynamic template is affected and when opened in Firefox, it doesn't shows the Page title on tab, but shows the full Blog Address.


I am not sure what's causing it, is it the Firefox or the Blogger ?  But this is really annoying, however it shows the Page title for post pages well but creates problem with Home page.

I am trying my best to figure it out what's the exact problem, i will update this post after i have some updates about this problem, hope Blogger will also try to fix this problem. I hope someone from Google sees my post and do something about this.


If you have any idea about this please reply in comments. 

This is tested with Latest version of Firefox (11) and still the problem occurs. Someone need to fix it as soon as possible, i am trying my best. 

White Blank box showing up on my Blog page - How to fix it?

Are you seeing blank white box on your blog or website page, those box looks too weird on the our website or blog, so this tutorial post will show what it is and how to remove it.
It all started to happen today, if you ask me what it is, my answer will be that it's a bug from facebook plugins code, Facebook is having some problems with their scripts, and thus blog page are showing iFrame on blog pages. The White box is a iframe, which is executed from the Facebook plugins code.


I came to know about this on Blogger Help Forum, i thought this problem was only of that user, but similar posts were posted by the users, then it was sure that it was problem of the Facebook plugins code after i examined the HTML code of the pages. The iframes are being usually showerd on top of the page. See this screenshot, it's from a blog that was facing the problem.


The Exact code, that's creating the problem is Facebook's JavaScript SDK, which we need to add to our HTML to show Facebook plugins, not it's gone buggy and creating iframes on Blogger. Removing it may remove the boxes (iframe) from the page, but also disable all Facebook plugin such as Like buttons, comments etc on the Blog. So we will use different method to remove it.

After seeing more blogs, i saw that the iframe is only showing on which the Facebook like box is being displayed. 

How to fix it?

Let's don't waste much time and get to the main point, how to hide it. To remove them permanently from template is little difficult, because it requires you to remove the code from your template which runs Facebook like button and other plugins, so we will hide it with CSS.


Fortunately, the two iframe have been classed, so we can easily hide it without any difficulties. Follow the Step-by-step instructions.

1. Log into your Blogger dashboard
2. Copy this small CSS code

   #fb_xdm_frame_http, #fb_xdm_frame_https {
   display:none !important;
   }

We have to add this CSS, so go to Template tab 

Click on Customize and then select Advanced tab

Scroll down, and click on Add CSS, you will then see a input area, just paste the CSS code there.

We only need the CSS code, the rest of the steps can be seen on my How to add CSS to your blogger tutorial

If you think, this is not working then please post your Blog address in comments below, we will tryour best to help you.

Blogger finaly shows Quick Edits on Country Specific Domains too !

Quick edit icons were not showing due to country specific redirection Google started for blogger blog, but it got fixed by Google today.

 Blogger users were facing difficulties to edit gadgets on their page directly, because they were not able to see the Quick edit buttons, which were gone because of Blogger's country specific domain redirection, which Google has started for comfort to ban a blogger blog in a particular country.

For few months we were not able to access the Quick edit buttons when we were not in our .com version of the blog, some blogger's knew that adding /ncr at end of blog address may help them to access the .com version of their blog and then they can access quick edit buttons, but for most bloggers it was an unknown solution, that's why we were getting questions in Blogger Help forum regularly and so i had to make a post regarded to this problem, you can still see the blog post here

Now that blog post is useless, as Blogger started to show quick edits for country specific domains too, but it really took so many days for Blogger engg. to fix this problem, but they did it. Google is the best and they care about their users more than any other service.

How to convert an ECM file to BIN

I will show the use of ECM file and will also give a tutorial on how to convert it to any usable format like BIN

I was browsing a PSX game site and downloaded a game from there and got a ECM file, that was the first time i saw an ECM file, I researched about it and was able to convert it to a working BIN file, the original ECM file was 200MB and when the file was converted into BIN it went to 600MB in size, so you can imagine how powerful is this ECM system.

ECM files are used to compress files and folders from a CD or CD image, it's very powerful and can compress a CD image to 200MB from 600MB, isn't it great ? So, many people compress their file to ECM and upload it to internet to save space and bandwidth. But the file can't be open by a Disk Burning or CD image converting programs like Nero, MagicISO etc. They are only to burn files of CD images type like ISO,CDZ,BIN etc.
So read this post to know how to open it.  

What is an ECM file?

ECM stands for Error Code Modeler , it compresses files and save huge amount of space, most of the CD/DVD have unnecessary EDC/ECC data in them and takes lots of space on the drive, ECM only adds the data in the compress file, and thus the file size changes, the compression size depends on unnecessary EDC/ECC data on the CD. Compressing a CD image to ECM is easy, just open the CD image file into your favorite compression program and save the file as [filename.bin].ecm, just add ECM at end.

How to convert ECM to BIN?

Ok, let's get back to the main thing, but read the above contents as well, we were at 'How to convert ECM to BIN' or any other readable/burnable file format, because we can't burn an ECM file to a CD so we need to convert it to use it. 

The procedure is small, it's just a 2 minute job. To make it easy to understand for you, i will list step-by-step procedures, please read them carefully.

1. First of all we have to download a file, with which we will convert the ECM file to a BIN file, it's not a good looking program but works great, thanks to Neil Corlett for this program. I have set a password to extract files from the RAR file, the password is stramaxon.
   

   Download File [LINK 1 | LINK 2] - Password for the file: stramaxon

2. Now extract the RAR file with WinRAR program, it will ask for a password, just enter "stramaxon" in the password field (without quotes)
3. Open the ecm100 folder in the extracted folder there will be two files, unecm.exe and ecm.exe
4. Open the folder where your ECM file is, now drag and drop the ECM file on unecm.exe in the ecm100 folder
   A similar window may pop-up when you drag and drop the ECM file into the unecm.exe, wait for it to decode 100%.
   
5. Once it's 100% completed, the cmd windows will close, now check the folder where tje ECM file was, a BIN file will be created. And done !

We have successfully converted the ECM file to an burnable image file BIN. If you want to change the BIN file to other CD image file, you can do it by burning the BIN file on a CD and then making image file from that CD, I know that will be easy for you, but if you don't know how to do it then please request me a tutorial on depy45631@gmail.com
