You have been redirected to this page because your computer has been identified as a source of malicious activity on the Internet.

In order to protect Portland State University web servers from this potential damage, we have put measures in place to block access to our websites.

• If you are PSU faculty/staff, in a school district or corporate network and need assistance, contact help@pdx.edu.
• If you are using a computer on a public access network (e.g. an Internet Cafe, public Wi-FI, etc.) there is a strong possibility that the public access network is the culprit. You can try another network or contact the local network administrator to resolve the conflict per the instructions below.
• Otherwise, your computer is likely infected. Note that a virus scanner on an infected computer is unlikely to detect this class of virus.

To be removed from the blocked list:

• Ensure your computer is virus free. If you are unable to do this yourself, contact a local vendor for assistance.
• Once the virus has been removed follow the instructions on the printed copy of this web page to remove your IP address from the blocked list.

Technical Instructions:

The Exploits Block List (XBL), maintained by Spamhaus, is a realtime database of IP addresses from hijacked PCs infected by illegal 3rd party exploits, including open proxies (HTTP, socks, AnalogX, wingate, etc), worms/viruses with built-in spam engines, and other types of trojan-horse exploits.

Most IPs are listed as a result of directly sending spam or viruses to special spam detectors (spamtraps, special addresses which do not belong to any real users, and which receive only spam) or by initiating SMTP transactions that look similar to viruses or botnet-proxies. For more details about the types of systems listed see http://cbl.abuseat.org/ and http://www.njabl.org/faq.html.

Removing Your IP Address From The XBL:

The IP address listed in the Spamhaus XBL was 209.85.224.90. You can lookup the record in the xbl list at http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=209.85.224.90

Under the line "209.85.224.90 is listed in the XBL", click on the links for CBL and NJABL (if they appear) to de-list the IP address from both lists underlying the XBL.

If the computer is still infected, Spamhaus will re-list the computer.
