Web Server Guardian Anti-Virus Edition
I don’t want to alarm you but this message is really important! Your online business could be the next victim of this terrible virus. If you’re in a hurry, please just go straight to:

Recently, Jonathan Teng an online business owner, got three of his web servers infected by a terrible virus called ‘Gumblar’. I’m not sure if you already heard about it or may be you’re one of the million victims out there but let me tell you quickly what happened to Jonathan’s sites.
In just 2 days, Gumblar spreads throughout his 3 web severs and infected 117 of his websites. His entire web business was severely hit overnight! He lost thousands of dollars in potential sales over a 6 day period. Everyone browsing his sites using Chrome and Firefox got an alert message saying:
“Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer!” (And those who were using other browsers didn’t get that message and got their PCs infected as well.) Though he incessantly argued with his web hosting providers to help clean his sites, they didn’t care much about it.
How bad was that?
- He suddenly wasn’t making money at all from his sites.
- Years of hard work evaporated in a matter of days!
- His sites were blacklisted by Google and other search engines.
- His sites were propagating the virus to other PCs.
- His credibility was suddenly at stake and he was labelled a virus spreader!
That was one of the toughest nightmares he ever faced. You can watch how frustrated he was when that happened and also how he managed to secure everything back for good:

This makes me realize how volatile our web businesses are! It could be making you a ton of money today, but in just a blink of an eye, they could be completely wiped out the next day!
This can happen to me and… this can happen to you as well!
I’m not wishing for this to happen to anyone of us but, prevention is better than cure! Taking precautionary measures to secure our web businesses is a real must if you do not want all our hard work gone into smoke! So I urge you to watch how Jonathan managed to solve this problem and how you can do the same for your online business!
