Redirect w/ multiple PCs/browsers, on our wired network
GoHybrid replied to GoHybrid's topic in General Windows PC Help
>>> Firefox, from what I can gather, this has nothing to do with MBAM. She is simply looking for help to resolve a problem. Thank you. That's exactly right. We just happened across this forum when we googled for help with those rogue viruses earlier this year, and thanks to the clear how-to info we read here, got rid of them fairly easily via the free version of Malwarebytes. So this was the first place I thought to come back to when we started having issues with this redirect problem. So it might be the router then. I was wondering, since it was on all PCs on the network, if that was the case. I'll double check with my boss to see if there are any custom settings on the router to make note of and see if doing the factory reset fixes the problem. We just upgraded from DSL to cable last month, so was I've been wondering if something that was done when they installed the new hardware might have had anything to do with it as well. Thanks for the suggestions, really appreciate it. I'll give it a go and see if that works. ~ Karen ~ -
Redirect w/ multiple PCs/browsers, on our wired network
GoHybrid replied to GoHybrid's topic in General Windows PC Help
I actually signed up for this forum and asked the question as an individual, with my own personal home PC/email information, just to try and help out my boss. I'm sure you have your policies regarding personal vs business accounts, but as a "mom & pop" shop that consists of all of 4 people, one of whom is only part time, and another who frequently works from home, we barely fall under the category of "corporate". My personal network at home is more extensive than what we have here in our office. So yes, I did write in on behalf of a business, but one that would easily just fall through the cracks of "corporate support" (I don't even know who/what a Cleverbridge is, much less have an order reference number for them). So any assistance that could be provided here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ~ Karen ~ -
Got an issue that I'm hoping all you smart folks can help with here. Went to a marketing website (www.smartboxwebmarketing.com) two days ago, it worked fine. Tried to go back to it yesterday to check some info, and got redirected to www.yougotrickrolled.com. But apparently the problem is not with them, it's with us. Outside of our office (from three different home PCs AND my phone), the marketing site comes up just fine. But on our office network, on any office computer, on different OS's, using any browser, we get redirected to that same rickrolled site. Pulling in the live URL to the marketing site into a code editor gives me this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>302 Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Found</h1> <p>The document has moved <a href="http://www.yougotrickrolled.com">here</a>.</p> </body></html> So there IS clearly a redirect going on, but it's only on our network. And just for that site only. I was reading about the Google redirect virus, but we get this even when we manually type the url of the marketing site directly into our browser, so I'm thinking it's not that. Could it be, since it's on every PC on the network, a problem with the router? Kind of befuddled here. I've added the www.yougotrickrolled.com URL to my windows hosts file, which has blocked it from coming up on any browser, but that's just a bandaid, it's not getting rid of whatever is causing the redirect in the first place. Have already run spybot, and Avira and not finding anything amiss there. The info on this forum was really helpful when two of our PCs got hit with one of those Rogue "antivirus" viruses several months back, so thought I'd come back here and see if anyone had any ideas about what is going on with the network now. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you! ~ Karen ~
