Website after hack

[bec]

Hello everyone,

I have the Problem with the redirects too, now when I try to login it redirects me too. I did clean my cache, cookies and even delete
parts of my history. What else can I do? I feel a little bit helpless right now.

Much Peace and Love to everyone.

Souza is way better at this stuff then I am but if you're seriously out of ideas I know a couple other things you can try.

Try downloading a different browser, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, whatever, and see if the site loads on the new browser. If it does, that's your easiest fix. Use that browser for this site only if you want, that's what I do. A couple of boards ago I got stuck like you guys and the site wouldn't load past the first 2 posts on any page and nothing worked to fix it. Finally I just downloaded Chrome and it loaded fine. I was too lazy to switch everything else over so I just use Chrome for this site and FireFox for everything else.

Or... if you run Windows you could always try to use a system restore. Pick a date before this happened when everything was running fine and restore Windows. Then delete the old bookmark and click the new link and bookmark it.

Souza probably has better solutions then me though, do bear in mind, but I totally sympathize with you having trouble accessing the site. Hang in there.

Souza, I am thinking, suspicious mind meant old forum, which was earlier. There was link You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. Now it is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. Old link worked all this time. Now I tried to go in old link, but it is not worked. Though, old link worked five minutes ago.

yeah yeah what you said. whew glad it wasn't just me  :thjajaja121: i was starting to feel like i was in the twilight zone . :affraid: :icon_lol:

 Thanks bec and MaryK for your advice.

I finally got it sorted! YAY   :woohoo2:

This might help anyone who is still having problems with the redirections:

Yesterday when I tried to quickly click on another topic before it redirected to that Shouthost.com site my Virus scanner came up with a warning about a Trojan called FakeAd. So I did a full system scan and also ran a Malware program over my full system and it picked up 2 virus/spyware called: Troj/Mdrop-DWU and Troj/FakeAd.

So I deleted them and did a reboot then cleared my Web browser cache and cookies again and also did another  flush dns then was able to load the Forum properly and now when I click on the Portal tab it doesn't redirect.

Glad that is sorted.

Safari is working fine, only issues when site was hacked.

Thank you, dear Souza, for all of your hard work. Hackers suck, no matter how you slice it. They do it simply for what they think is "fun," then go onto their next "target."

I totally impressed with your computer knowledge. :affraid:  All I can boast about is that I have a son who is 22, and when I’m RE-E-ALLY desperate with my MJHDI problems :Crash:, he helps me out! :smiley-vault-misc-150: :icon_geek:
Not this time but the time before he changed us over to Chrome.

What am I doing wrong??? :Pulling_hair:

I have scanned my computer for viruses, changed the browsers (from Chrome to firefox), deleted all navigation history and still get redirected. I am really having some rough time !!! :screaming-7365: :screaming-7365: :screaming-7365: :Crash:

Deleted navigation history? Or did you delete cookies and cleared your cache completely? Did you also scan for tracking cookies on your pc?

It is disconerning to think that ppl would have access to pm. Thanks for raising the Q Gina and addressing Souza. It has been on my mind since I saw the latest on doggies blog...

Wish I never saw that blog. But I have. And it's niggling at me at me in the back of my mind...

The pm's are only accessable if they manage to hack the database. That didn't happen, it was just the site itself, so no worries. The only one who can read pm's are the ones that send them, those who receive them, and me, but I only have access to them if I search through the database, I can not log into anyone's account without changing passwords. Nevertheless, it is always possible that the database will be hacked one day. I do my best trying to avoid that, but I am not superwoman so never discuss personal things in pm here, but use email for that.

It depends on your browser. Try to do a Google search.

No worries thanks for taking the time to answer thoroughly. I appreciate it. My last post sounded like I said thank you Gina for addressing Souza lol. It meant to read thanks Gina for raising the Q and thank you Souza for addressing the concern.... I'm tired and all flu'd out my brain is foggy and I'm not making sense

And I do feel better abt pm after ur response, so cheers!!

@Souza there is something I want to say:

Before hack - when I logged in I saw if I had pms. Now I don't see it anymore, I am only notified by email.
You know why?

Oh thank you! Same here, I see I have PM's but I never got any pop-ups. I'll check it out.
