malicious website blocked: green-towers.net

made the point to report this one in forum, as i didn’t see an option jump at me about it.

this is a win7 (no sp1) system w/ ie8. done a full options reset/user setting deletion, doublechecked the addons, and resest the winsock.

installing updates for fun, to see if the possibly infected iexplore.exe gets overwritten, otherwise full scans from avast, malware, sas and kaspersky all show clean.

wanted to share about green-towers.net, as the site isn’t being reported as infection related on any google searches, but it is fishy that it is based in egypt, where the webdesign site that produced it, Paradigm Solutions/info@paradigmegypt.com says that all projects are 90 percent funded by the egyptian government.

…egypts new government stepping into the malware/backdoor market or poorly secured servers being exploited?

network shield report:
Last blocked connection: http://.green-towers.net/x/?

ommited the random url garbage.

it only shows when ie(8) is opened. no issue with firefox. updating to see if file overwrites fix or if update closes hole. will run combofix after if still necessary.

It is possible that any exploit may be crafted to work on IE and or firefox, if you have security add-ons like NoScript may be blocking it already.

There is another issue the various sites I used to try and analyse this domain have a problem resolving an IP address for it, so essentially they are unable to scan the content.

A whois check on the green-towers.net domain fails to resolve are you sure this domain is correct ?
