When i browse a genuine web page, it redirects to unwanted sites should i disable java

When i browse, randomly, (in the avast web page checker shows it as good with green mark) the browser it self redirects to unwanted adult site, and when i close click the next time, i get the original page. When i browse through the firefox history, it gives index index and then redirects to the page. It is sheer unwanted browser.

similary some index file entries then the unwanted site. i have immediately disabled java RE.
Is this enough? or is there permanent solution.

Interestingly enough, I had the same thing happen '''today''' when I clicked on a search result in Google. It hijacked my request and redirected me to this same bioderma(.)name(.)tr server. It only happened once though, and I cannot seem to reproduce it.
May I ask what kind of plugins you are using? And most importantly, what DNS provider are you using. (That is, do you happen to be using OpenDNS?)
You can test it here (it will show a checkmark): http://welcome.opendns.com
I don't have Java enabled, never did.

Internet connection (sometimes) slow to come back after wake up

Hi all,
I started having a strange problem few days ago. First time it happened my husband gave the iBook back to me after using it, and I logged into my user account - and internet connection was gone. I checked the airport settings, the bars were there - went and checked internet connection from the other computer and it was ok. Rebooted, twice, fiddled with the internet connections - and suddenly, without changing anything, the connection was back.
So I though it was weird, but since my iBook has been fine since I got it 7 months ago I didn't think more of it. Then it happens again - this time I opened it up from sleep, and again no internet connection, couldn't even contact the router although bars were there and it claimed that it was connected to the network. This time I didn't even change the settings, but just looked at them, and after 5 minutes or so the connection came back. Then it happened again, same symptoms and same solution - wait for 5 minutes and it will sort itself out. But of course it doesn't happen every time - yesterday it was fine.
Anyone has any ideas what's going on, and possibly even solve the issue?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
Sorry that the simple fix doesn't do it. There are other things you can try, since WiFi can be cranky in many ways. First, are you running an Airport base station or some other wireless router? If it is "other", then you might try changing the broadcast channel on it. WiFi operates on 11 different channels in the 2.4 MHz band, and you might get more reliable connections on a different channel.
The Airport base station is smart enough to switch itself to the best channel, but you may have to do your own adjustments with other routers. Most use channel 6 by default; if you are in a neighborhood with lots of other WiFi access points around all running on channel 6, you can get significant interference. Try switching to channel 1 or channel 11. Other devices in the 2.4MHz band can also be a problem: garage door openers, cordless phones, or baby monitors.
Note your own router could have strong signal, but it would be fighting all the other signals coming in. If you are in an apartment building or in a block of houses fairly close together, such noise could be an issue. My neighbor was having WiFi connection outages, and it turned out that he had five detectable signals from his neighbors, all but one running on channel 6 along with him (I was on channel 3).
The location of your router can also be important. According to experts on the web, it is better to have your base station higher than your iBook. My neighbor had another strike against him when he put his base station into the basement while he tried to work in the bedroom above with a laptop.
Anyway, there are many things that can go wrong. You may indeed have a hardware problem, but let's rule some more easily fixable problems first.
Good luck.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 on Ubuntu 10.10
If I use the Chromium browser, this doesn't happen.

Can someone please help me figure this out? I need this fixed fast.

Hi,
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:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

No internet connection sometimes at night?

sometimes, so far we have noticed only at night, my boyfriend and i have a problem connecting to the internet on our macbooks. i wonder if it has to do with the connection or our computers?? as far as we can recall this kind of problem really hasn't happened in the day time. would it have anything to do with 2 macs trying to find a connection?? we connect wirelessly via a cable connection. no settings were changed between the day and night. no settings were change at all for that matter, so i don't want to have to explain what my settings are and what not. bottom line, if nothing has been changed why would it be different at night?? that makes me think it is the connection. tonight when we restarted the modem and router it worked. anyone else have this problem in NJ with verizon (i think...maybe OPTonline)? seems to be since there were two macbooks in the house....he just got his last week. previously he had a pc laptop.
anyway....just curious if anyone has any theories as to why this might happen...some suggestions if it continues to happen so we don't have to restart the modem everytime. any input would be appreciated.
thanks so much.
--Carlee

Carlee, I have noticed that many Internet Service Providers will sometomes have problems in the early evening because of the amount of traffic on there servers. This can sometimes be caused because they just need larger servers or less customers.
Normally Dial-up is by far the worst, followed by
DSL and Cable is the best of the 3 mentioned.
It may be neccessary to reset your system when this occurs.
Shut of your machines, pull the power adapter from both your ISP's Modem and your Router. Wait 5 minutes and then in order.
Plug in your ISP's Modem and wait 1 minute.
Plug in your Router and wait 1 minute.
Now you can restart your computers.
We all have this problem from time to time, I have it when I get Automatic Updates and it requires a restart and it will sometime cause this issue.

Google searches redirect to unwanted sites such as K Directory

Using the Google search engine when I click a link in a result I increasingly end up at an unrelated and sometimes totally random website! For example a lot of the time I end up at www.kdirectory.co.uk. Other times I end up on youtube?
Bizarre and increasingly annoying.

You may have an infected system. To scan for malware, install, update and run these programs ''in this order''. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in their "free mode", but the features you'll miss are not really needed to find and remove the problem you have. Remember that ''not all programs detect the same malware''!

I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

Sharing airport express internet connection with router and wired network

Dear,
I want to set up the following network, but can't succeed.
Components:
2 Powermacs quad G5's (airport and two ethernet ports)
2 Powerbooks G4 (airport and 1 ethernet port)
1 broadband wired router (1 Wan and 4 Lan ports)
1 airport express
1 cable internet connection.
1 LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB
The internet connection is at the other site of the office (little architecture office). It is not possible to get the internetconnection directly to the desk wth the computer. 1 Powermac G5 is set up to share his internet connection. (Share via airport with ethernet 1). The ethernet 1 port is connected to the Wan port of the wired router. The other Powermac G5's ethernet 1 port is connected to Lan 1 of the router. The LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB is connected to the the Lan 2 of the router.
All the conputers get their IP adresses bij DHCP. The router is set to distribute IP adresses. Without the router and the LaCie everything works fine. There is internet connection on every computer and filesharing in between them is possible.
I like to be able to do the following.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network. Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing. On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router. With this configuration is it possible to copy files fast between the powermacs and the lacie harddisk.
At the moment I'm trying to get internet connection on the second powermac. The ethernet port gives me a proper IP-adress and tells me that I can connect to the internet, but it won't let me go on the internet and when I turn the airport back on, safari buggs. Without the ethernet cable connected I can go on the internet without anny problem, but off cours the fast filesharing isn't possible any more.
A drawing of the desired network can be downloaded at the folowing website
http://homepage.mac.com/maesen_jeroen/FileSharing14.html
Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
thank you verry much
Jeroen

Disable the DHCP server on your wired router. Since your Power Mac G5 Jeroen is sharing Internet, it is already providing DHCP.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network.
Sorry, but it is not possible for the PowerBooks to access the subnet created by the Power Mac G5 Jeroen.
Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing.
Shouldn't be a problem.
On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router.
On Power Mac G5 Jeroen, you will need to disable the firewall or open the ports through the firewall needed by Power Mac G5 Nico to access the Internet.
Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
What you have is incredibly complicated. A much simpler solution is to
Get a 2nd AirPort Express (AX).
Use WDS to wirelessly connect the 2 AXs.
Connect an Ethernet switch (or hub) to the Ethernet port on the 2nd AX.
Connect all of your Ethernet clients (2 Power Mac G5s and LaCie) to this switch (or hub).
In this configuration your PowerBooks will have wireless access and all of your Ethernet devices will get IP addresses from the AX connected to the Internet.

Help! No "Internet Connect" application on my iBook??

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11 and wanted to set up my old iBook, which is still running 10.2.8, for my son. I haven't used it in a long time, but when I did I was able to get online with no problem. Now, I couldn't connect to the internet after trying everything I knew, and in checking I couldn't find the internet connection application on the iBook! Maybe I deleted it somehow? I can't imagine doing that, but anyway...I tried copying the application from my Macbook Pro, but got an error message when I tried to use it on the ibook saying it wasn't compatible, which isn't surprising.
What is my best option here? Is there a way to locate this application on the Mac OS disks I have for 10.2 without having to wipe the old machine clean and start over from scratch replacing the entire OS? Can I download the appropriate internet connect from the Apple support site somewhere?
I'm not much of a techie, but if you use small words I think I can understand whatever you tell me I should try!

Thanks for the help--here's as far as I was able to progress, which still has me unable to access the internet from the iBook:
Using Pacifist, I was only able to find an "internet connect" option on my 10.2 update disk. I installed it. An option named internet connect does now show up. However, when I click on it, it seems to initiate a process to open something (as evidenced by a frantically jumping up and down icon in the dock, I'm sure you know what I mean by that), but then that icon disappears and nothing happens.
Incidentally, I tried sharing my wireless internet connection from my Macbook Pro to the iBook, and although the new connection appeared in my airport dropdown list on the iBook , when I tried repeatedly to connect using the password I had just created, I got an error message saying it was unable to connect to the network. The computers were sitting side-by-side at the time, and the router to the wireless network was literally about 10 feet away, if that. Also, if this means anything at this point, the airport status on the iBook shows no bars at all.
Sorry to be so difficult!

Intermittent Internet Connectivity Problem. Sometimes freezes Windows XP. Help please, anyone?

We switched from Comcast to Veriozon FIOS about a month ago. Everything has been fine with the internet connection until recently. I have two computers running Windows XP SP3, hardwired to the Verizon wireless router. One has Norton and one has AV Antivirus programs running. Computer 2 suddenly started strange, occasional symptoms. Click on a desktop shortcut icon (any of several, such as Yahoo or Ebay). Intenet Explore begins to load and then freezes. Entire Windows seems to lock up. Use Windows taks manager to try to stop NOT RESPONDING IE. Sometimes successful, sometimes we had to just shut down and reboot the computer. Retry internet by clicking on the tray E for IE icon....no problem getting on line. 10 minutes later, leave internet. Try again...XP freezes up.   In many cases a short cut icon to internet would not work twice. Sometimes Computer 2 would go days WITH NO **bleep** PROBLEM. Now for the last week, computer 2 is running properly, but today, good old reliable No 1 is acting up the same way. All OK 70% of the time...big headache the rest of the time.   I even noticed a report from AV antivirus that internet connectivity was lost. Then apparently restored.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Thanks for the first two replies.
1. Norton and AVG antivirus ran last night.   No problems. Spybot also was run.   So I don't think the problem is related to Arun's ideas.
2. I have a MI424WR Verizon router.   The WAN light is on solid green, all the time. The Internet light flashes.
The router is fed by coax.
I dont know what bit torrent is.   Computer 2 is only used for Pogo on line simple stupid gaming (I am whining about wife's activities).   My Computer 1 is only used for ebay and simple web activities.
I tried resetting the router once today...helped nothing.
Just now I could not get connected via shortcuts.   BUT---I can always get on line through Outlook Express. And I got here via an email link.
