Website redirects to PC scan

Last week I had this happen 2-3x. I’d return to my Mac & on one of my open Safari Tabs the web page (Drudge Report) had been redirected to a fake PC scan site. I’d be unable to switch tabs or do anything with Safari. The fake scan was taking up the entire page & a pop up window to D/L the malware/fake virus ‘ fix.’ Only had one option “OK.” Could not close or Quit Safari. Could only force quit. When Safari relauched, it was OK unless I opened the Drudge Report tab. This happened whether or not that tab was the active tab or not. One time I did accidentally click OK & got a zip file D/L to my Downloads folder & I immediately trashed it w/o opening the zip file & then emptied the trash. I looked & no Mac defender or Mac anything in my applications folder or running under Process in Activity Monitor. So, I am fairly certain I did not install any malware. Probably was PC malware from an attack on this specific website. But, never had anything like this happen with Mac b4. If a web site got hijacked it just screwed up THAT particular site & could navigate away or close that tab & no effect on the entire browser.
I wonder if this was the Mac Defender malware? I had thought the Mac malware was specific to Macs & the file if D/L & installed would be a Mac file. DMG?
Today I installed the Apple update that should automatically scan for & warn against the Mac Defender malware.
Anyone else have anything like this happen recently?

While surfing web too many website redirect occurs on safari as well as Google search. I am using wifi. This problem not there on my pic which is connected through wired modem

While surfing web too many website redirect occurs. I am using wifi. some times it redirects to sexual sites some times to App Store. I tried after deleting history and cookies also. I am using safari and Google browser. I changed router configuration and password but problem still exists.

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply.
A few things happened since I've posted this.
1)I've deleted all the history and cookies from my macbook safari and when I opened the website with the issue, the problem did not happen this time.
2)Seeing this, I've deleted my history on iPhone's safari and opened the same website but the problem was there again.
3)The problem does not happen on iPad.
So, I do not have the problem at all on Google Chrome but on Safari (now just on iPhone)
Is this still about my router settings? If so would changing my phone DNS settings would suffice? Or do you think the problem might still remain on my computer as well?
This is so frustrating for a person who does not know anything about technology at all
Thank you!

Website Redirect Malware

I use an iPad Air. Browser: Safari.
Just recently I encountered a malicious malware on my iPad that attaches itself to a particular website, and whenever you visit that website the malware will then automatically redirects you to another website (usually a site advertising some bogus product, or in worse case scenarios ****). Years ago I encountered a similar virus on my laptop, but on my laptop I had a good anti virus program and the ability to use system restore in order to undo the damage done easily.
Does anyone know how to remove or fix a website redirect virius on an iPad? At first I had tried clearing my cookies and data storage, but that did nothing. I was able to upgrade my OS to the most current version on my ipad, and that appears to have fixed the problem for now. But how would one fix it if there are no new updates to the OS to download?

I have a similar problem. This is the thread that i made.
I have Adware - Ads are randomly popping up in safari.
I am quite certain that this happened after connecting my ipad to my malware infected windows machine.
My version was up to date,
I browse reddit, which I know or some of you know, are free of obtrusive ads. But at some point, redirects me to a website adcash.com
My ipad was never jailbroken and i never knew how to jailbreak
but still, it redirects my safari to another adware tab.
I have tried everything Reset All Settings, Erase All Content and Settings, Reset Network Settings.
Still, the problem persists.
I use paypal alot on safari and i am afraid that hackers will steal my info.

I'm having issues with my browser redirecting me to other websites. I've scanned my computer twice, but it finds no problems. What can I do?

Whenever I log on to my homepages (Hotmail and Facebook), I hear music and or advertisements in the background. If I click on a link, it will redirect me to one of the following pages - livesearchnow, alwayssearch or groovewish.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How do I remove the "Go to a website" redirection?

Hi. I'd like to know how to remove the redirection to the navigation bar when I open up a new tab. Everytime I open up a new tab I've set it so I come to my homepage, google. But instead of directing me to the search bar in the center of the site, as it usually does when you type in the address and hit enter, it redirects me to the navigation bar, removes everything there and puts out the text "Go to a website". I don't want that, I want so it puts me in the search bar like if I'd have typed in the address in the navigation bar. Thanks in advance.

That is how the new tab page works.
It works with the build-in about:home page, but not with web pages like the Google search page (www.google.com)

My website redirects to OpenDNS ONLY in Safari. Please help!

Safari redirects my website, http://kyleayers.com to OpenDNS stuff every time. This doesn't happen in Firefox or Chrome. Anyone have any advice?
Thank you so much.

Beware MSI website redirection

If you are trying to access www.msi.com in order to check on and download newer bios or utility files for your AMD motherboard (any motherboard, apparently), please note that *this morning* I discovered that all requests for www.msi.com are being redirected to us.msi.com, a site which only features a download for Live Update and nothing else. Not even Firefox 30's anti-redirection feature will prevent it; nor will cleaning out recent browser history. (IE 11 gave the same result.) I had to do a Bing search for just plain "msi.com" before finding a link to the International site, then I had to drag the link into my bookmarks before I was able to access the International MSI site again (through the link.) The address is now msi.com/index.php (no "www").
This gets weirder: if I simply try and type in msi.com or www.msi.com into the browser's address bar, I am now always redirected to the us.msi.com site! The *only* way I can get to the International MSI site is to click the bookmark!... This will take me to the main page and to the bios and files pages for my AM3+ motherboard (G46), which is located on the...www.msi.com website! Lol...
If MSI would simply mirror the International site on the us site, I'd have no problem with going to the us.msi.com site. But I need to check the International site because the US site doesn't host the individual bios and utility files for my MSI motherboards...
Prior to this morning I had been able to access the www.msi.com site directly and without redirection to the us.msi.com site. I have a feeling that MSI does not intend to make it more difficult for us in the US to access the global site, but nevertheless that seems to be the outcome. Anyway, just Bing the location and drag the bookmark/favorite into the appropriate place, and anyone else afflicted with this problem can also access the International site to get at the individual files you may need. Just thought I'd mention this...

Just checked and have had no problems with my bookmarking and selection of MSI Europe, MSI Global, or MSI USA. No redirection was taking place. That was with Internet Exploder 11.
It's still redirecting me. Of course, I now use the correct links as indicated above. http://msi.com/index.php takes me to the Global site; www.msi.com redirects me to us.msi.com (the redirection happens for me with FF30 & IE 11) Haven't the foggiest idea why this started happening... At least I have the correct links now!
I'm glad it isn't happening on your end...it only recently started happening to me...

Mobile website redirect doesn t work

window.location.replace("http://www.clairepons.com/index.html");
</script>
what did i do wrong?

Oy Vey Zak!!!
I've been over this for about an year now ( you can read other related posts) and have grown weary because there is no viable solution. The issue is that certain manufacturers devices, mainly Samsung & Archos tablets in my case, don't "pull" the correct version of my site. I have tried my site on iPads and the correct version appears no problem however not everybody has (or likes) an iPad. On Samsung and Archos Tablets the Phone site appears which look crappy. In this case I would expect that, due to the resolution of the tablets, the desktop version would appear which makes sense and is desirable.
Currently I'm in the middle of redesign so I only have Desktop and Phone complete. However, if you use an Archos or Samsung Tab tablet you will see that it defaults to the phone which in my opinion is silly since they both have the resolution needed. When I did have a tablet site available in my last site version, the tablets would default to the phone site like now.
My larger question is when does Adobe plan on rolling out responsive / elastic / flexible (whatever you want to call it) design? And I'm not referring to three separate sites either.
I'm not sure what the technical restrictions are that the Muse team is facing which prevents them from implementing responsive design? Can't Adobe take Reflow and "merge" it with Muse or something along those lines?
Macaw , Webflow , CoffeeCup ... all offer this. As a non coder I would be interested in hearing (again) why this cannot be for Muse?
Frustrated,
Ed

WRT310N - Loses websites, redirects others, seemingly at random

Hi,
I've been having a bizarre problem with my WRT310N router ever since I set it up a couple of weeks ago.
Periodically-- and this happens multiple times a day-- a website or domain either becomes completely unavailable, or redirects to a different domain. It happens constantly; the domain is only out of order for a few minutes at a time before reverting back to normal, but it's still very obnoxious. And it happens without warning, without any seeming pattern, and to a variety of websites.
Yesterday I took screenshots of most of the times this happened-- I stopped at six. Each error message is different. Here they are with descriptions:
1)the router thinks the sports.espn.go.com domain does not exist (even though it recognizes espn.go.com)
2)thinkprogress.org returns a google.com "not found" for all pages on its site.
3)facebook.com redirects to propeller.com.
4)youtube.com redirects to a nonexistent wikimedia page.
5)espn.go.com exists, but every page on the site, including the home URL, is a broken link.
6)the forumserver domain at twoplustwo.com does not exist.
Has anyone had an issue like this and can tell me what's going on and how to fix it? I have a PC running Windows 7, another running XP Professional, an iPhone, and two roommates with Mac laptops, and it happens on all of them, when they are connected to my router. I've tried Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Safari, and it happens on all of them. It only happens to each site for a few minutes before reverting back to normal.
Thanks.

Did you ever get any resolution to this?

Automagic website redirection

I've recently had problems with a Searchqu malware downloaded with a utility I got from "http://download.cnet.com" -- BEWARE.
I've now sorted that thanks to Firefox HELP gurus, and have restored Google.com/ig as my home page. However, before I stupidly downloaded the dodgy utility, I could put a search expression e.g. "netgear uk" into the URL text field in Firefox and it would automagically redirect me to the website i.e. "www.dlink.co.uk" normally in a new browser tab. Now, doing the same just returns a normal Google search response in the same tab.
Not a big problem, but the previous set-up was better.
Anyone know what I need to do to restore the previous set-up?
thanks

UCP website redirection

Ran into a small problem with the website. It works fine for those not autonomous to our network, but those autonomous, or outside our network are unable to use it. The UCP site is on a server behind an ASA, the ACS is in front of the ASA. We can use it in our office OK since we can reach the server internally, but if you are outside of our office the UCP redirects the user to the server IP after login. How can I setup UCP so it uses the public IP of the firewall and not the IP of the server after you log in to change the password?

You configure the firewall to permit HTTP traffic over the range of HTTP administrative session ports that ACS uses. Then it will allows the UCP setup.
We do not recommend that you administer ACS through a firewall. Doing so requires that you configure the firewall to permit HTTP traffic over the range of HTTP administrative session ports that ACS uses. While narrowing this range reduces the risk of unauthorized access, a greater risk of attack remains if you allow administration of ACS from outside a firewall. A firewall that is configured to permit HTTP traffic over the ACS administrative port range must also permit HTTP traffic through port 2002, because a web browser must address this port to initiate an administrative session.

Website Redirection

I'm looking for a method to use to redirect my main website to my backup website in the event of a power failure. The backup website server is offsite.
Is there a software I can use where I can log in via a webpage and redirect the down site to the backup?
I running on Solaris 10 w/ Apache 2
Thanks in advance!

Highly available server, running a *nix OS, on redundant Internet connections. Have a monitoring system.
That configuration served me very well back when I ran both a corporate infrastructure and worked in the ISP biz. The only downtime of any note that we had on the *nix side was due to backhoes taking out data circuits. Just never had any problems causing downtimes with the machines themselves. Of course, on the Windows side it was another matter... The occasional BSODs and ease of which people managed to get their sites hacked (oddly enough, not due to any inherent IIS flaws, but it seems like the Windows server users, on the whole, like to choose much weaker passwords!) caused the IIS stuff to have downtime on occasion.

Website - Redirect to internal ip

Hi
We have a camera system that sits at cameras.domain.com:8080 that users access outside the network.
When we are inside the network how do we redirect the machines to just go to 192.168.1.3:8080?
I looked through DNS on Server Admin but got lost - any help would be appreciated

John is obviously right on the money, however there may be a simpler way to resolve this if you dont want get into DNS on the server "I looked through DNS on Server Admin but got lost"
you could edit a local host file, which is feasable depending on the number of client machines.
If you choose the DNS on the server - route, maybe some more information on your configuration would help answer specific questions how to help.
In this community online, along with John, Antonio, (and many others) there is MrHoffman who has a great site to help you learn about different aspects of OSX.
