How to avoid being redirected to Chinese site?

Hi, I cannot proceed my payment in euro as every time I choose a subscription, I will be redirected to Skype's Chinese site. Most of the payment methods listed there require Chinese credit cards. Would you please help me to solve this problem so that I can use my credit card (in euro) to make the payment?
Thank you in advance!
Yvonne

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • How to stop being redirected to Skype China

    I am trying to buy an unlimited world 1yr plan under the 15% special offer. But whenever I click on the link it redirects me to Skype China.
    I live in Boston MA, USA.
    I dont speak chinese. I can't read anything.
    How do I get skype to stop sending me there and just let me buy the god damned subscription from the US site.
    (The "Buy from Skype site" button just sends me to the same Chinese site so that isn't an answer.)

    Hi, hope this would help. I solved this problem by creating a skype manager account (https://manager.skype.com/) in New Zealand and topping up with a NZ credit card. Then add my skype account as a member to the manager account. I allocate credit to this skype account every time I need to top up. It's like a family account and now I top up for my families too . Good luck!

    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.
    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.
    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.

  • 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.

  • How to avoid being overcharged at end of BB contra...

    The last two years I have had to jump through hoops to get reimbursed for overcharges incurred by my BB contract ending in (I think) December, and me being put onto a standard charge package, also last year being charged a whopping "cancellation" fee, all unbeknown to me as I wasn't even aware my contract had ended, nor that I had cancelled it!  Thanks to a BT rep on this board (Stephanie?) it was sorted out, but not without hassle and inconvenience to me.
    That time of year is coming around again and I would very much like to remain on exactly the same package as I am now, which is landline charge plus £5 a month for 10GB BB & free weekend calls.  (This is at my second home, hence the low usage and favourable deal).
    How do I go about preventing a repeat of last year's confusion and shock bill demand?  If I cannot have the same package I am prepared to quit BT as I have a mobile for calls and a dongle contract for mobile BB.  I'd quite like to stay though, but only if the package remains as it is now.  If I do leave because this cannot be continued, how do I avoid being charged a cancellation fee, when I won't be cancelling as such, just completeting my contractual 12 month term?
    Is there a cancellation fee for having the landline disconnected, given that this seems to be on a rolling contract?  I am happy to give one month's notice.

  • When making a selection from a search I am being redirected to a site other than what I selected and it says "redirecting" right on the tab, how do I stop it!

    When doing a search, the search list comes up fine. On most of the sites I select, it redirects me to another search site. I have McAfee protection installed, and it shows no threats or issues. Even had their techs on my computer remotely.
    Also, my pop up is turned off, and I still get pop ups and it opens them in Explorer!

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • Can I avoid being redirected to "mobile" web sites?

    Whenever I go on sites like CNN or, lately espn, I am automatically redirected to their mobile site instead. This is not what I want. Can I stop it??

    I see the mod's been busy on this thread. I hope we're allowed to post links? Here's your link to the CNN.com non-mobile site:
    http://www.CNN.com/index.html
    It could be useful if someone would put together a list of links such as this on a website some place for the most popular sites. Or it could be a legitimate iPhone update that people want to be able to disable the auto redirect beause they feel they have enough speed and bandwidth, or otherwise prefer the regular site
    I tried using Google to search for the link but wasn't very successful. Why don't you guys post some feedback to your friendly Apple support on the subject?
    PS: If your guys are going to charge you for mobile site access, I have a hard time believing they're not going to nickel and dime you for data downloaded for regular sites. Do you have unlimited Internet through your provider? But I guess that's beside the point. Basically, if you don't want to rely on external sources for getting your links, you will have to pay your provider the $36 a year for mobile site access so you can get to the sites you want easily, until Apple upgrades the phone or someone writes an App. Heck, there may be one out there already! You do like your phone otherwise, don't you?

  • Even though my pop up blocker is engaged, I am constantly getting pop ups and being redirected to advertising sites! how do i end this commercial annoyance?

    sometimes it happens when I click on links, and often windows will open in the background and I don't notice they are there until they begin their vocal ads!

    Do not install MacKeeper (and how to uninstall it if you have):

    (Please note that references to the original developers, Zeobit, also now refer to Kromtech Alliance Corp, who acquired MacKeeper and PCKeeper from ZeoBit LLC in early 2013.)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up* as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here:   http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions and here:  http://www.opendns.com/technology/opendns-vs-google-public-dns/ )

  • Google searches being redirected to ad sites

    Just since the last update of Firefox, many of my Google searches for episodes of my favorite TV shows present the proper site (usually wikipedia), but when I click on the link, I'm sent to random advertising sites. It's driving me crazy. I've run Malwarebytes, and Spybot Search and Destroy, and they have cleaned me up, but I still get the same garbage. How can I get rid of this stuff without dumping Firefox altogether?

    Such a redirect is usually an indication of a malware infection.
    So if using the above listed scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then it is best to ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the <i>Popups_not_blocked</i> article.

  • Why are my clicks being redirected to "jump" sites or advertising pages?

    MyFirefox has been infected. It redirects my clicks to advertising pages. How can I overcome this. IT was worse before I ran Ad Aware, which at least cleaned things up enough so that FF would open. I am running Malware Bytes as I type, but i think this is deeper than that goes. AVG which I ran at the very start of the problem didn't even detect anything. What would you suggest?'''bold text'''

  • E-mail campaigns how to avoid being suspected for spamming

    Hi,
    We plan to launch e-mail campaigns, but we fear that we may be tagged as a spammer.
    My best guess is to throttle down sapconnect for INT to max. 1.200 mails per hour that way the different ISP shouldn't tag us as a spammer.
    Have anyone of you had experience with that, and how did you solve it?
    Best Regards

  • Since loading 5 I keep being redirected to sites I don't want instead of going where I ask; firefox prevents some, but I feel like I am undar a denial of service attack.

    Problem started with download of Firefox 5. It is now almost impossible to follow a link or perform a search with any search engine without being redirected to other sites.

    How could you have upgraded your IOS and be on IOS 7.0.6?   I'm skeptical about your movie claim - my guess is that you were unknowingly streaming them from the getgo unaware that they weren't on your iPad. I suppose there may be an "escape clause" in Apple's update routine that is invoked when a device doesn't have enough memory to carry out an update whereby movies are swapped out to hoover up more memory. Personally I've never heard of this occurring In Apple World.   Why does your cheap phone outperform your iPad "in every category"?  There's no good reason - you obviously have numerous issues that are easily resolvable if you follow Philly's advice.
