CAT’s website seems to be giving lots of problems to the students. CAT, Common Admission Test 2010 students were shocked to see CAT site popping up virus warnings! CAT’s official website www.catiiim.in reportedly hosted some malware files on its server.

Similar thing was happened with CAT website last year, and the scare continues this year too. Thousands of CAT aspirants are visiting this site from past two days for the information on CAT registrations.

According to the reports, this bug has already affected many people who tried to access it. People with better anti-virus programs received a quick warning. Even the Google blacklisted it saying “this site may harm your computer”.

CAT officials accepted that the site was infected due to some of the files they have uploaded earlier. He cleared out that the registration information is safe on the other servers.

This particular site is predominantly an information based website. So mostly it doesn’t save any data. All CAT’s important data is safe on their other site iim.prometric.com.

CAT’s web maintenance team quickly spotted the malware and removed it. For now, CAT’s official site is safe to browse!
