Redirect when clicking links

Heya. I'm not a security expert and I'm having a problem with being redirected to FileStore123.info - Your Free File Hosting from links on pages from the HB forum.

After reading for the best part of 2 days, thinking my PC was infected, and trying everything possible to fix the problem it seems like the cause isn't on my PC.

The seems to be a corrupted script injecting the address above somewhere after clicking the links. All the info I have suggest it's coming from the forum itself.

I don't wan't to cause unwanted stress or worry, I have no idea what the cause it or anything. Only a long time spent trawling the web led me to any kind of useful info.

The info I've found seems to suggest vBSEO is to blame.

Could you please confirm / deny or generally update me with any information you may have? The redirects are making life a misery here.

Many thanks.

 

download and run a program called "combofix" just to be sure.

Bleeping Computer Downloads: ComboFix Download

 

It's purely random. I can't give you a link as the 2nd time I click the link it will redirect me to the correct page.

My PC is clean. If you want to contact me via MSN I'll give you full access via remote desktop connection so that you can see that I am clean.

I really can't be more helpful. As it is so random. It just happens.

 

And I'm running Mcafee on this PC, Sophos on my others 2 main PCs and Microsoft Security Essentials on all other junk PCs I have.

It's not just linked to one PC, I can confirm. I've just been helping my son with his Garry Mod server and had it happen their too.

 

foam, them anti virus's aint that great infact i wouldnt even run a anti virus at all if i had to choose between them or none.

download the program in the link i provided and scan your computer using ComboFix!

 

Thank god for Homegroup. Coppied the link I clicked that got me redirected last.

I'm getting the same, OP. I've wondered the same, but haven't bothered asking yet.

 

Forgive me, I never download anything I'm not sure about.

I don't do anything risky like movies / games or porn downloads. I'm one of the genuine internet / game users, nothing more. I'm 60 years old with 21 MCPs (7 full MCSEs paid for by work a few years back now)

And Sophos is recognised as being one of the very best available.

 

And no, I don't work with PCs. I'm a textiles mechanic who had a PC at home so I was an expert (So my bosses said) and had to install miles of cables before wireless became available.

 

as a person who knows alot about the interwebz, you do not need to download porn, movies nothing to get a virus or even a simple redirect
all it takes is to open a WEBPAGE to get a injection that you would not even know about.

take my advice, download combofix, run it it is the best thing i have ever herd of or used by far,
then go into your internet settings, and DISABLE all your addon's that aint MS.

 

Google redirecting to filestore123.info - vBulletin SEO Forums

Found this, might be worth looking at

 

Maybe something like "HijackThis" could help
HijackThis 2.0.4 f?r Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 2000 | Download | ZDNet.de

You should also check your DNS servers, maybe they where compromised and returns false values to you.

DNS-OK.de Test bereitgestellt durch die Deutsche Telekom AG

It's a german page but it checks your dns. the FBI has killed a hacker group who made something with a DNS changer.
FBI ? International Cyber Ring That Infected Millions of Computers Dismantled

you have to write dns-ok.de by yourself, don't klick on the link above due a redirection will create false positive results.
If you click on the Link it could told you , you are infected but this is wrong.
If you click on the link and it tells you, your are infected double check it with copying the link by yourself (keyboard ^^)

"clicking" on the link is not dangerous, but it could leed to a false positive result

 

Everyone who "knows alot about the internet" knows that you can't get any kind of injection by visiting a web site. The only possible thing is a kind of cookie tracker which sends info/data to the "owner". Get your shit straight before you toss things around you.

 

thats wrong. you can get a injection buy visiting a web page.
Google for drive by injection.

 

You really do have no idea do you,
I have a fuck load of qualifications in computers along with programming
I myself have made a drive by inj a long time ago

So don't you dare try undermining what I say. And say there cookies.
Have have no idea.


Now stop all the bitching. Download combofix, scan it wth that. Problem should b solved

 

5 out of 5 complete scans done, all clear from M.S.E, Mcafee and Sophos. I don't want to use anything that I cannot pre-verify so I am going to stick to what I know and trust.

 

Well tbh then there was no point asking for help or advice about the problem if your unwilling to google the program you have been advised to use.

Ive never encountered your problem and seeing as im visiting the same pages seems unlikely that it is the Web hosters fault.

 

Why ask for help when your not even going to listen?
