Finished Filling out my spam report. This one is a bit more advanced then last time. I see 7 variations of keyphrases vs the single key phrase used in the inital spam attack.

supafresh I bet this is the same thing I see in my Google Alerts and why i have quit checking any alerts.
I was fooled several times with the alerts due to the url's the alert was coming from. It was the anti virus malware scam that I was hit with.
This is very hard to report due to the sites/url's are good ones and they just keep changing them as they are detected.
Like the hackers are only using x number then move on to another group when these are detected.

I don't want to hijack this topic, but I think this may be related...
I was on a computer hardware site. When I clicked on an article, the page came up then I got redirected to the same type of site - fake anti-virus software.
I'm extremely cautious (firewalls, antivirus) and I was shocked because I don't remember clicking anything but an article page. I did some checking and my machine was clean. Then I thought that hardware site was hacked.
Everyting was fine with the machine, then I went back to that site again and same thing. That was about a week ago and nothing since. Strange.
That fake anti-virus stuff is the worst, the first time I saw it I thought it was from my machine - it looked like a Microsoft message. [edited by: lawman at 11:42 pm (utc) on Feb 24, 2010]

Yes, the urls are from legitimate domains. The problem is these pages are not in the normal sitemap of the site or navigation so these orphaned pages are ranking via the network the hacker/spamm has created.
Alot of the sites can be identified easily because the domain has nothing to do with what i searched for.
