Python. Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm trying to create a new Google document, and every time I click to create new, the link brings me to this site: http://i.imgur.com/rCBvvjP.png?1 This happens sometimes with imgur links, gyazo links, youtube links (like to the videos) and others, all to various websites Usually if I close them and then open the link I originally pressed, it goes to the correct place But as for Google Docs, I literally cannot make one Any remedies? Edit: When I clicked on the imgur link I posted above, it brought me to http://i.imgur.com/IBwGiq3.png?1 And it was a legit link too What the fuck is going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What site? It's just blank Get something called spyhunter, they're one of the best antiviruses, you'll have to torrent it though because it's expensive I didn't say that. Edit: It's a virus that actual companies are funding, I guess. A malicious one designed to lead you to places where you'll spend your money, basically, it puts an invisible layer over everything so that when you first click it, its like clicking a hyperlink, and when clicked it goes away so you can get back to what you were doing. My father had this crap, Spyhunter really is the best. If you want spyhunter, I have it on a flash drive and I could somehow send it to you.

Bakgrund Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Reinstalling windows would be your best alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 How would that work? I could put it into a rar and send it through skype, it's only fifty megabytes, it would take a while because of skype but whatever Theres a password on the actual files, so you'll have to enter it, I think I copied it and made it into a text document associated with the folder so I'd be okay.

iPlayer Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just to mention, many antivirus vendors offer free tools that can scan your computer for viruses. Try Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool or Avast Browser Cleanup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynexyl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 At least it doesn't eat all your files and interrupt your browsing like that Ransomware i got last week. I've tried all kinds of anti-malware and stuff, but the only way i could get rid of it was formatting everything and reinstalling Windows. In your case, just run some malware detectors and try to remove it. I'd recommend scanning it without internet connection, as it may be more effective in the removal process.

New Bee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sounds like a suspicious case of DNS poisoning/website redirection. Just scan your system with a bootable antivirus.
