Yesterday I witnessed a script based malware attack on my computer. I strongly believe the malware infected my computer came from one of my friend's USB drive. He double clicked a folder to open in his pen drive but it was a short cut created by a malware. The target location of the folder was the below address. C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c start WScript d3d3\icec.js & Start Explorer.exe "RECYCLER" and I believe WScript.exe is infected by this malware. This script automatically set the home page to "http:// india4you. info/r.asp#" in Firefox. Also the default Search too changed to one malicious URL address. Gladly Avast installed on my computer is able to detect it and stop Firefox from accessing the page.

Importance and Advantages of Having Deep Links to Your Website
One of the main questions many newbie webmasters ask in webmaster forums is if it is enough to create back links to just the home page? For a product or service website with one page, it is enough to build backlinks to just the home page but it is not enough for a big dynamic website.
