Arc Solutions Forum redirecting to malware site

Hi,
Does anyone use the Arc Solutions forum for support on Cisco's CUxAC products?
http://forum.arcsolutions.com/
When I access it it redirects me to filestore72.info which is a dodgy malware site masquerading as a file sharing site. If I go back in the browser then click the link again it loads the forum page.
I originally thought it was something dodgy on my PC but it happens on other PC's belonging to other companies that I use for work purposes and seems to happen across all browsers.
Is anyone else seeing this?

I have just logged into my account on the Arc forum and I have 4 private messages all of which are dodgy spam (we have detected your computer is infected, use this web proxy etc.)
They seriously need to get their act together

I have a redirect virus/malware that I can't get rid of - Stopzilla ID MalPac.D - any suggestions

I have picked up either a virus or some malware that frequently redirects my browser to intermediate sites. Stopzilla calls it MalPac.D but repeated attempts to remove it with Stopzilla have failed. I tried to update my antivirus (Bitdefender) but every time I try to download it I get a message that the installer files are corrupt and the install fails. I installed a different antivirus product that also found some viruses and removed them but the redirect is still there.
I can go into tools>options>advanced>settings>advanced and find that there is a manual proxy server selected. If I just click on "No Proxy" the proxy setting will reset itself. If I just click on "No Proxy" and delete the info for the proxy server I can then do searches without redirects.
Any idea how I can find and get rid of the redirect virus/malware?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). You could also try turning on Block Pop-Ups on the same Settings page.
Also close Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Links in facebook redirecting to phone site

I have chared a link on facebook to promote my company site. When i clicked it on my desktop the page opened fine. When I clicked a link within the page it redirected to the phone site. I checked and double checked and the links were good.
I tried it in chrome and it worked fine. But safari seems to be choosing the phone site for every link.
Any suggestions where I should start looking? The first time I uploaded my site it was with the wrong link to the phone site. But after this is corrected safari still seems to get it wrong.

Hey
thanks! I think it was a cache issue with my first wrong link to the mobile website. I was really sweating my pants of. Thanks again!

Hi Johannes,
Even on Safari (6.0.5) clicking on the gif or logo at bottom, it takes me to http://www.mozesmedia.be/index.html which is the desktop version.
Have you tried clearing Safari cache or resetting your Safari or tried on Safari in a different machine?
Cheers,
Vikas

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.

For example, I did a search on Google for :
"resume have summary and objective - Google Search"
It returned several options. I clicked on :
"Summary and Objective statements | Magic Pot of Jobs (http://www.magicpotofjobs.com/2005/07/30/summary-and-objective-statements/)
And instead ended up at:
http://www.gimmeanswers.net/search/v5_1/searchabc.php?search=Resume+Have+Summary+And+Objective&affiliate=mx1-33371
This has been occurring with almost every search I do.

Please help -- How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser without downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash plugin is not available in browser

Hi,
Please help
How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser
without
downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash
plugin is not
available in browser
Thanks

Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
Adobe/Maromedia web
site and also at Internet search engines.
As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
might find more
takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

I have Kaspersky anti-virus for mac. The extension Kaspersky URL Advison 8.0.6 causes Firefox to hang when visiting secure websites, especially when the secure site redirects to another site.

Kaspersky URL Advisor 8.0.6 causes Firefox 9.0.1 to hang when visiting secure websites and will not allow a redirect to another site. banking sites, facebook, auctionsniper, all these are affected.

Please also contact Kaspersky Tech support and Forum and let them know the issue, if its really a bug, they will fix it through patch via database update

When I try to open some web sites i am blocked by MOZILLA and redirected to a site I did not want and am unable to close or go back without going back to the home page. Help help help

I have removed the check from the pop up blocked in the MOZILLA options but still get this problem of not being able to open certain sites. The MOZILLA icon appears with the three options available, but before i can click on one I am automatically redirected to a site I did not want, and when I try to go back it will keep coming back to the site MOZILLA put on the computer. I have to close and go back to the home page and start all over again. I have installed a new virus protection system STOPZILLA and could this have any bearing on the problem. After awhile it becomes very frustrating trying to get on line information and being continually redirected. Any ideas?

There are other things that need attention:

How do i get Safari to stop redirecting to mobile sites?

Mobile websites are a curse, and IMO was one of the main reasons people didn't use the mobile web before the iPhone. Now with the iPhone you can view the actual web (minus flash, which I would really like to see soon, hint hint), without having to deal with these crippled sites, yet most of them still redirect you to their mobile site.
Someone please tell me there is a way to get safari on the iPhone to stop redirecting to mobile sites without jailbreaking my phone.

These redirects are controlled by the websites themseives. They figure out if you are on a mobile phone or not and then redirect you to the mobile version.
The only way to change that is to look for a link on their site that leads to the full version or write the website webmaster asking them for a link to be added.
There are other ways as well but those aren't supported by Apple so they can't be discussed here.

My Ipod shuffle appears in itunes on mac but not on windows 7 even though we have the latest update of itunes. We have also tried the other solutions on the apple support site.

Redirect to mobile site {subject edited by moderator}

hello i have a website and a mobile site when i try to upload the mobile site files it ask to over write the main website files ?help in cs6

You can do this with javascript on the main site's default page -
<script type="text/javascript">
if (screen.width <= 730) {
window.location = "http://www.example.com/m";
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
if(isAndroid && screen.width <= 730) {
// Do something!
// Redirect to Android-site?
window.location = 'http://www.example.com/m';
</script>
If either of those tests return true, the user is redirected to the default page in the "m" subdirectory which would be where your mobile site and its dependent files are located.

I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5). Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

I am in Mexico, but do not want pages like google or yahoo to redirect to .mx sites. How do I make this stop happening?

I am in Mexico, and pages like google or yahoo redirect to .mx sites. I would like to know how to keep them from redirecting, to stay at google.com / yahoo.com

The problem is that what you are asking for is something you know you aren't going to get - specifically the
I would also like Apple to provide a projected timeline for these fixes. Not a commitment, just a projected time-line.
You know that is not how Apple do business - ever. While it's entirely possible they will ultimately meet your wishes in terms of the fixes, updates and added features, it won't be part of a 'deal' but just because they will continue to roll out their product plan as if nothing had ever happened.
On the other hand, I have to say that I agree entirely. Much could and should be achieved simply by building on the platform and advancing it. It isn't an unreasonable wish to see that happen and to know it will happen. Just not Apple's way to tell anyone.

Random redirection to other sites

i've been an internet user for nearly 10 years, but i think alas i've downloaded some sort of virus.
when i google search for anything, even sites i have before, sometimes when i click the links i'm redirected to other sites trying to sell me cheap tat, and even sites for new mums... i'm 18... and a guy.
anyone know what i have to do to get rid of this major annoyance?
P.S. when i click the links i can clearly see in the address bar, that i'm being redirected to 'bots.com' and the like.

Try downloading and running AVG free and ad-aware. Spybot may also help (but use with caution as it doesn't like playing with ad aware).
If you can't access the AVG site, use another computer or ask a friend so you can install it.

WHY DO YOU HAVE DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS CANADA LISTED AS A MALWARE SITE. THEY PROVIDE EBOOKS TO PROJECT GUTENBERG

Firefox 15.0.1
You are identifying Distributed Proofreaders of Canada as a malware site. They provide ebooks via distributed proofreading to Project Gutenberg and Project Gutenberg Canada. THIS IS A VICIOUS FALSE POSITIVE!
YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY RESCIND THIS IDIOCY.

Mozilla uses the Google Safe Browsing service to provide that security feature and Google is responsible for maintaining that list.
