Most, if not all, of the pages we discussed in our post on Wednesday about Blogger sites pushing fake codecs have been removed by Google.
However, we still continue to see a good number of sites pushing fake codecs.
Example:
For the most part, these go to a site which looks like this:
(Notice the attempt to push a fake video about the Bhutto assassination. They watch for the hottest keywords and then roll those out.)
And when you click, you get this:
Very deceiving.
Here are sites we found — there are certainly more (“.” replaced with a space):

What can you do? Feel free to report these sites when you find them to Google — through this link.
And Google’s filters need to do more, such as looking for links within blogs to known malware sites — in this case, places like oyaebu, video(dot)googl(dot)name, etc.
