Always being redirected to multiply websites

When ever I go to a web site and click on any item I immediately get redirected to multiply other sites plus I get multiply popups within the web site that I'm on. Popup blocker is checked within Firefox and I've done "Restart with add-on disabled" in the Help menu. At one time this solved this exact problem in the past but it no longer has any effect. I also restarted Firefox to the default status with no noticeable effect either.

Hi,
Try reset.(all information will be deleted)

  • Being redirected to random websites/content not permitted in my post!

    First things first - when I tried to post this query I got a message saying that I had included content which was not permitted. I'm wondering if it's to do with my overall problem which is that I have managed to pick up some kind of virus (I know Macs aren't supposed to get viruses but it's the only word I can think of) that's redirecting me to random websites - but not just when I'm in Safari/Firefox, when I'm in the middle of inserting information into a post, or anything online. For example, when I had to select a category below for the query, I ended up being directed to the Mackeeper site!
    So something has got hold of my ability to access websites. I tried clearing the cache but that didn't make any difference. I then looked up how to clear the DNS cache and tried that, but with no luck.
    I'm tearing my hair out now, so any help would be appreciated.
    In case I can't update info below, I'm running Yosemite on a MacAir and use Safari as my main browser but as the problem also occurred in Firefox I'm guessing it's deeper than just cookies!
    Thanks in advance!

    1. That's due to the board software and not malware.
    2. Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, download and run Adware Medic; to do this, copy and paste http://www.adwaremedic.com/AdwareMedic.dmg into your browser's address bar.

  • How do I stop people from being redirected from my organization's website to another with a similar address and copied content (not a problem on IE or Chrome)?

    My organization's website is: www.wallingfordseniors.org
    Many people when using Firefox are being redirected to another website (www.wallingfordsseniors.org) which has lifted our content verbatim. Even when typing in our address, people get sent to the other one. This other website is being operated by an unknown entity and the hosting company has no contact information we can find to send a DMCA violation letter to. Anyway to keep people from going to the other site? For now all the links are the same but we are concerned that they will mess with our link to submit donations and route money to themselves with our donors thinking they are giving to us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It depends on how it's happening. For example:
    * DNS Server glitch (OS or router level): however, you would expect the same result in all browsers
    * Custom DNS/proxy setting in Firefox - users can check their connection settings as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] (network mini-tab under Advanced settings)
    * Non-default search engine plugin -- if the user puts a space in the domain -- that doesn't display search results normally: user can make sure Google is selected
    * Hijacked by a browser extension: user can try Firefox's Safe Mode
    * Redirect hacked into your website (in .htaccess or a PHP/JSP/ASPX file under certain circumstances)
    Once the wrong address is in Firefox's history, for example from making a typo once, users may find it hard to notice the difference when given autocomplete suggestions.
    Hopefully you can track it down.

  • Web searches are being redirected to other sites

    Web searches are being redirected to alternative websites. Deleted MacKeeper but the redirects are still occuring

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Websites being redirected to yandex.ru

    I am having a problem as of yesterday.  A lot of the websites I have been trying to visit have been redirected to yandex.ru.  I am running Chrome on a 15" MacBook Pro with Lion.  the sites that are being redirected are very random, but they consistently redirect.  For example, MSN.com always loads fine, but trying to click on a link within msn.com from yardbarker.com redirects to yandex.ru.
    It doesn't matter whether I access the sites through a search engine or directly on the google omnibox, the sites are always redirected before completely loaded.  It is also consistent on other browsers (Safari and Firefox).  I have cleared all caches, cookies, extensions, deleted extra search engines, etc, and I have tried using other DNS addresses provided by OpenDNS.   None of those things worked.
    I thought it might be a problem with my ISP.  I am living in Jordan for work, so who knows what kind of potentially shady goings-on are happening, but I asked a friend using the same ISP and DNS addresses to check the sites I was having trouble with, and they loaded fine for him.
    I have used ClamXav and MacScan 2, and no problems were reported.  I reset my router to factory settings, and I am still having the same trouble.  All of the devices we use on the local network are also being redirected.  My wife's macbook, my iPhone, and our iPad are all being affected.
    I am using a Wimax router through a 3.5G HSPA connection with an airport Extreme attached via ethernet to extend the signal. I tried to connect to the Wimax router directly and still had the same issue.  I tried logging in as a guest, using Safari, and was redirected as well. Not sure what to do next. 
    Any counsel would be thoroughly appreciated.

    Temporary solution proposed by zain technical support after a big fight over the phone... (works just fine)
    Add yandex.ru to the List of blocked websites under the settings/options menu in the security section, this needs to be done for each browser you use. Whether ur cache is cleared or not, you will be able to avoid the sudden redirection to yandex. Your browser will show a notification that yandex has been blocked (it will block it three attempts of redirection, I took the three yandex.ru/*********** blocked sites and added them in full to the list of blocked sites under the security section in each and every browser on every single device accessing the hspa+ gateway)
    My browsing is a **** lot easier now, speed though went a little down, not a problem for me as long as I can get things done)
    Tech support promised a permanent solution the coming week.
    I still haven't had the chance to try the VPN option. Will give it a shot and update the thread

  • New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

    New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

    safari is redirecting me
    Dee....
    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • Websites being redirected

    Recently I am beginning to have websites being redirected before they have a chance to fully load. I thought Macs were resistant to this. Have I somehow picked up a virus or is it due to something else ?

  • Websites Being Redirected Internally

    Hello,
    Within the LAN, when we accessing a page, it gets redirected to a different page. Outside, it's fine. Do you know what I should check? Should i check to see if there's a redirect set or edit the local or DNS host file?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did that issue happen for a specified website or all websites?
    I recommend you to check the host file to see if any related wrong records existing, if yes, you can delete them:
    %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    If you used a local DNS server for name resolution, please also check if any wrong DNS records existing.
    In addition, please also run anti-spyware or anti-malware software on your computer as redirects are often causes by a virus.
    Furthermore, if you are using IE, you can configure the security zone level to "high"(Click on "Internet Options," then click the "Security" tab. In the "Security Level for this Zone" box, use the slider
    to set the security to "High." ) to stop IE from using ActiveX, preventing Web pages from redirecting you to others. Please note that although this stops the redirecting action, legitimate websites may not load properly, or at all. Some functions
    on websites become disabled, such as links to other websites, video or PDF files. This method is extreme, but it stops redirects while you scan the computer for viruses.

  • How do I stop the box "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?

    I have cleared my cookies and cache and disabled some add ons, but when in Facebook and specifically for Farmville, I keep getting the pop up box, "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" I have closed and opened the browser, too and it still keeps coming up.... Please help!!! Thanks.

    You can't avoid that if the website is coded that way and data needs to be send from one server to another server.

  • How do i get rid of the confirmation popup that says This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed

    when navigating on certain sites (fiverr.com is one), i get the popup confirmation "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"
    this is highly annoying and i can't find a way to turn this annoyance off. help!

    because of its impact on security this error message cannot be suppressed. you might want to contact the admins of the website where this is occuring and ask them to implement a handling of user input without sending it to a different server...

  • Why are I being redirected everytime I click on a search link

    When ever I click on a search link from my search results I am being redirected to some kind of ad or inappropriate website. This began this morning after Firefox installed it's updates
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This morning

    "4.0.50524.0" is probably the Silverlight plugin, so no need to remove it.
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • How can I change the fact that every time I open firefox, I get redirected to a website promising a free ibook?

    OK. So in October I made the mistake of opening a website offering a free iBook (I'm really not gullible; I thought I could figure out who was sending it too me). Ever since then, I cannot open a new Firefox session without being redirected to the site (If I open up more than one webpage and save them before closing, I don't get redirected to the ibook site).
    I actually keep my web-surfing software on thumb drives, and I tried two different thumb drives doesn't matter. I purchased and ran an anti-virus program. No dice. Can you help me?
    I have a MacBook, which runs on system OSX 10.5.8

    Hi revbennyd,
    So it sounds like your home page has been hijacked? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
