Safari changes my website request to random product sale sites.

Every time I try to load http://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/, Safari changes the address to various other websites. This site is one I have used regularly for years on all my computers. The problem only exists on my imac. This is an example of one of the sites it sends me to http://www.apartmentfinder.com/search.aspx?ecid=PS%7CADM%7C21189S114209140
I have tried dumping casche and resetting Safari to no avail. The site works fine on my other computers.

Hi
Since you said - the site works ok on other computers... and you've reset Safari, presumably including removing cookies?... I'd think it unlikely on that evidence, that the site has been hacked.
Whilst hacks to websites do & will happen, and result in page redirects, or rogue/spammy pages being served up - if they're not gonna be noticed right away by the site owners, they do need to be either randomish, or meet some pre-determined criteria ( like say, if the visitor has come from google, and was searching for xyz's , and even then, perhaps the 'hacked' site might only redirect every one in ten requests )
or yes, if the visitor has some identifier, like a cookie or 3rd party plugin, or is from a particular country or isp... something which would let 'em know to redirect your computer, and not mine. Or it might be a bookmark you use, with some extra code in, although the http://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/ link you gave, is fine, and works normally from here too.
Have you checked to see what DNS the problem mac is using?

  • Why when using private browsing does Safari still remember websites visited?

    Even when private browsing is selected on my MacBook and iPad2, websites visited are remembered and displayed in history.  Why is this?

    Hi Graham,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Is it possible that you have some Safari windows open as private browsing, and others not?  See the overview of private browsing below (see the note I've highlighted in bold):
    Safari 8 (Yosemite): Use Private Browsing windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19216
    Use Private Browsing windows in Safari
    When you use Private Browsing windows, Safari doesn’t save your browsing history, and it asks websites you visit not to track you.
    Use Private Browsing:
    Choose File > New Private Window, or switch to a Safari window that’s already using Private Browsing. A window that’s using Private Browsing has a dark address and search field with white text.
    When you use a Private Browsing window:
    Each tab in the window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t track your browsing in other tabs.
    Safari doesn’t remember the webpages you visit or your AutoFill information.
    Safari doesn’t store your open webpages in iCloud, so they aren’t shown when you view all your open tabs from other devices.
    Your recent searches aren’t included in the results list when you use the address and search field.
    Items you download aren’t included in the downloads list. (The items do remain on your computer.
    Safari doesn’t remember changes to your cookies or other website data. Safari also asks websites and others who provide those sites with content (including advertisers) not to keep track of your browsing, although it is up to the websites to honor this request.
    Plug-ins that support Private Browsing stop storing cookies and other tracking information.
    Websites can’t modify information stored on your device, so services normally available at such sites may work differently until you turn off Private Browsing.
    Note:   None of the above applies in other Safari windows you may have open that don’t use Private Browsing.
    Stop using Private Browsing:
    Close the Private Browsing window, switch to a different Safari window that isn’t using Private Browsing, or choose File > New Window to open a window that doesn’t use Private Browsing. To further enhance privacy:
    Delete any items you downloaded while using Private Browsing windows.
    Close any other Private Browsing windows that are still open, to prevent others from using the Back and Forward buttons to see pages you visited in them.
    Besides using Private Browsing windows, you can manage cookies and data stored by all websites and have Safari ask all websites not to track you.
    If you forget to use a Private Browsing window, you can clear your browsing history.

  • Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

    Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, 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 more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem 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.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...

    Hi there,
    I did the downgrade but no good. After a long search i found what finally the problem is.
    The lines are stuck when there is a trasfer from a non icd dn to an icd dn. Believe it or not this is not supported when the setup uses ccme
    You cannot transfer a call from a common dn to a uccx extension.
    All unsupported features are listed below

  • WhenI make changes to website, published site does not recognize

    Recently I added Pay Pal to my site. Then when I vistied my site I found some of my edited pictures looked as though they had both prior "masks" and current.i.e. oval now looks like oval and square. I even went back and re-ddi the picture edits. They look fine in the edit iweb page, but not the published page.HELP! please.
    Denis

    i wasnt sure to whether to start a new topic or not but i am having the same difficulty. Here is my problem and information. Any help would be brilliant.
    Computer:Macbok Pro, OSX 10.6.8
    iWeb version 3.0.4
    Mobile me
    Everything works perfectly, except one slight glitch when modifying changes in iweb and i publish my saved site to my mobile me hosting (via safari), the published website does not show up like my saved and now published iweb website??
    I contacted mobile me, who said "unfortunately that's not actually a publishing issue. This is going to be more along the lines of your settings within iWeb itself. As a MobileME/iCloud agent, I can only assist you in making sure your website publishes correctly. For assistance with the actual iWeb Application, you will need to contact iWeb support directly."
    This would be fine although i no longer have apple support in my account, so im stuck. Other changes are showing on teh online site? its just one change which is my navigation menu is showing on two lines instead of one as it is on my iweb application. I have had no error messages come through when publishing my site.
    I do not want to re-upload iweb as it works perfectly apart form this, but if it wont change this what will it not change next. Also i have other sites saved on my iweb and i dont want to lose them if u were to install iweb again, not that i'd even know how to.
    Any help would be really appreciated, thanks guys.

  • Safari AutoFills bookmarked websites...

    I have unchecked all 3 autofill options on Safari 3.1 Windows and still every time I type in an web address, it autofills to my bookmarks. Does anyone have a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

    I accidentally typed the wrong login number on a United website, and had checked "remember me on this computer". I've gone in to Safari preferences and unchecked everything, re-started the computer, and Safari still "corrects" my login on this website (ie, I type the correct number, and password, then Safari changes it to the incorrect number and tells me I've entered an incorrect account number and to try again!) Aaarrrgh! Can anyone tell me how to fix this? thanks,

    Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
    I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
    The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
    I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • " plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

    Hi,
    Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
    Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
    Thanks,
    Shyam

    Hi Linc,
    Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
    Here is what I do:
    1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
    2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
    3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
    4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
    I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
    Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
    Thanks again,
    Shyam

  • How to change a web-request

    Hi everybody
    I have created a web-request. I can create a web-request, but I cannot change it. Belong to the documentation, when I change a web-request, then the change will be made in a new version.
    Here is the link to the documentation:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/46/12cdc93b75424fe10000000a1553f6/content.htm]
    For creating the web-request I call this url (the hostname is imaginary):

  • DataAction class changed from 10g Preview version to Production

    I have been using the production version of JDeveloper to work through the "Creating a JSP Application using ADF Business Components and ADF DataBinding" tutorial that was written for the 10g Preview (http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/tutorials/9050/bizcomp_jsp_tut.html).
    In one section it instructs you to override the findForward() method of a DataAction. Unfortunately, there is no longer an overloaded version of findForward() in the DataAction class that returns an ActionForward object, only one that returns void. Overloading the method is not a problem per se, but it cannot return super.findForward() as is specified.
    There is also a problem with importing oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.PageLifecycle; the class does not seem to be part of that package.
    Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Ryan,
    Yes, some of the classes have changed between the preview and the production release. The extent of the changes are describe in the release note accessible from the help menu.
    As for the findForward method, the value of the action forward is now set to the context object. Look at the javadoc for StrutsPageLifecycle.findForward
    http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/905/adf_javadocs/oracle/adf/controller/struts/actions/StrutsPageLifecycle.html#findForward(oracle.adf.controller.lifecycle.LifecycleContext)
