Joomla Bluestork Built in Virus

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Found in the error.php file

You can either replace the error page with another, or delete all on the text within the php file with text from a safe error.php file

What happened you say?
My website got shut down by my webhost. They told me there was a virus on on of my websites and told me to upload a safe copy of the website..
Well I don’t have a copy of my website. They have a copy of my website.
but. I couldn’t do anything. SO I downloaded the whole website via FTP. and decided to locate the joomla files the webhost said may be compromised.
To be certain, I downloaded a fresh copy of Joomla, and a fresh copy of blue stork and checked for a virus.
Yep. Sure enough.
The Error page has a virus in it.
I started with a simple scan with EMsisoft Emergency kit
Then moved to virscan.org single virus scanner that uses multiple scanners, to scan one device and shows you what they all find. They don’t all typically agree with each other, so it’s like getting a 2nd 3rd,4th etc opinion all at one time.

Here is the resulting page

I then ran to virustotal website and performed a very similar scan. and got somewhat similar results.
The results
Admin theme Bluestork
The scary part, is Bluestork has been the default admin theme for Joomla for quite a long time.

It seems there is either a new virus definition going around that is much better defines, or is flawed, or bluestork people really have something to fix.

Either way, it might be in the best interest for Joomla to strip the bluestork theme out of the default themse.

I myself have stripped the error page to no text with in it at all.

WordPress Ifeature Theme Review

Posted onAuthorTruXter

This theme has been the greatest them on wordpress I have ever used. Cyberchimps created the best theme yet.
but there is a downside. It is like the day after I posted on the cyberchimps facebook page, praise on how easy they made it to put ads at the top of the page, they sent out an update that killed the top banner option
version 1.2.1 allows you to put ads in. Version 2.0.5. does not.
IFeature Version 1.2.1 download can be found on WordPress website
The featured Articles option, though is a great concept, is a bit too tacky looking once activated. You can only activate the featured items option, if you pay for Ifeature.
Downside, is the upper banner area does not allow for a large banner. and it would be nice to change the color of the beam at the top of the page without having to use photoshop and they really could have repeated a smaller image for that. Would reduce that flicker when the page opens.
but, my over all score for Ifeature theme entirely:
9/10

Updated Short cut tool bar

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I added more podcasts, and more radio stations to the

Toolbar

also cleaned up the functionality of it.

If you want a specific music genre let me know. Hit me here and I will add it.

You can add the ones you already have links to.

you can add your own podcasts now. also look in the area that says “local” it will gather local radio stations for you and hook you up with new music and news stations..

The text feeds are really getting bloated , I will cut that down with the next update I do. It really does not effect anyone with there being aa bunch, just to me it looks  like allot.

It will be a week before I put another out though. I have a ton of site work to do.

As of now I think it works with explorer and mozilla and netscape only. Have not tried on Kopete / Kbrowser or opera.

If you get it to work on either, let me know

jst to clarify there is nothing  screwy about this toolbar, scan it at jottis or virus total or virscan (google is your friend). You will see I am here to hook you up with easy usage, nothing freaky!
