I've got a web server and this bleeping thing keeps appearing in asp files.
google9.info.js

does anyone know what it is, where it's coming from and how I can get rid of it??

It is making me - and more importantly - my boss crazy!

It appears to be a spam/viral site as I don't think google set it up and I can't imagine why anyone would put "google" in their URL if they weren't google... unless they wanted to make you think they were to get away with something.

As you see here:
http://www.registeredon.com/new/info_061214_0001.html
it was recently registered along with some other questionable titles... and the site itself appears to be a default apache webserver... which I doubt google would have there at any point.

If possible I'd attempt to block that URL from any type of traffic including it's associated IP address.

Best of luck.

I too am experiencing this problem with our website that runs IIS. Has anyone got any ideas?

We seem to have caught the same bug. Did a resolution to this problem come about?

Within our web files the one that continuously seems to receive the line of javascript was the adovbs.inc file. I made this a read-only file. I also restricted ftp access to certain ip addr's. Permissions within your webserver are definitely a good place to start. Problem is that you may limit functionality by doing so. I would hazard a guess that everyone experiencing this problem has MS Windows IIS (ours is version 5.0) with a SQL engine running in the background.

I think it is a form of html injection.
are you running any off the shelf .asp applications like shopping cart software?
