Blogger: Virus in Link Comments

Blogger blog owners recently found fake spam comments in their blogs which contained infected virus link.

How can I prevent or minimize the possibility of having Blogger blogs hacked ?

1. Comment moderation - Review comments before they are published. Go to Blogger settings -> comments -> change "Enable comment moderation" to Yes.
   


2. Email notification - Blogger will send an email when someone leaves a comment on your blog. Go to Blogger settings -> comments -> write down your email address at "Comment Notification Email".


3. Word verification - This will require an extra step in the commenting process, which will stop automated comment spamming systems. Go to Blogger settings -> comments -> change "Show word verification for comments" to Yes.
   

Press "Save" when you finished.

With these three easy steps you can prevent spam comments on your Blogger blog.

Enjoy,
Alex Webs.
