Is it fixable? It's annoying as hell...

I thought I had a virus on my computer until I started doing more research, and it seems that this only occurs on forums, not regular websites. I'm not an expert at this, but it sounds like the forums were contaminated with a redirect code, sort of like a virus.

My question is, has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that our forum has been compromised? It's also doing it on my iPhone as well, so it's not something g with my computer. As far as I can remember its only with links to the forum, not Facebook or Break or any of the other sites I usually go to. Anyone else? Am I crazy?

...don't answer that.

It only happens on my Windows machines. My Apple machines work fine. BTW, it never happens if you use Bing intsead of Google. FYI

I got that too the last few weeks and I don't like it one bit.
Search on here returns too many results, search on google or bing gets a redirect.
WTF?

You can do a google site search under Search -> Advanced Search. You'll see a lightly colored google search bar on the page.

my apple gets the same redirect. FYI

Maybe this is something the mods need to look into. It doesn't sound very "dangerous" as far as a virus or something, but it IS annoying.

Anyone else have this problem, when I clean up the cookies and tracking data on my pc and then type in 370z forum links from a google search and pick one of them, my pc is redirected to some BS adverstizing link call 123direct or some site that makes you close out internet explorer or restart the computer.

Note this only happens at the 370z forum no other forum, if the forum administrators are doing something that causes this problem, then it should be corrected ASAP

gsxr750 · 07-12-2012, 03:09 PM

Here is a link to the BS sight yo keep getting redirected to URL123.INFO - free url redirection and masking service

cdoxp800 · 07-12-2012, 03:14 PM

Yes.. I get it at random..

Trips · 07-12-2012, 03:28 PM

Its been discussed in another threads and it's a google issue not this site.

Annoying as HELL I agree but this mostly happens on the first attempt to get to this site via goggle.

I will let AK know anyways

It is actually a site issue, not a google issue. The forum is running a search engine optimization plugin that has been compromised.
Ak needs to work through:

FAQ's on the Rogue Plugins Exploit (1/23 vBSEO Patch Release) - vBulletin SEO Forums
Easy Security Tips for vBSEO customers - vBulletin SEO Forums

Or re-install the SEO plugin.

Just waiting on him to actually have time.

Thanks Dan for the clarification and I stand corrected

I've let AK know so he can address it.

AK's been pretty busy lately so I ask those annoyed to please be patient

I've been getting this problem very consistently on my work's mac clicking links from google reader. Very annoying!!!

dmhenderson · 07-18-2012, 06:49 PM

Confirming that this has happened on both my work machine and my home machine. I installed malwarebytes and S&D and neither picked anything up. It's super annoying because you have to close your browser to get out of the "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS GAY WEBPAGE LOL" cycle and can't use your back arrow.

Davey · 07-18-2012, 07:09 PM

This happens to me on my work computer (Firefox) but I don't recall seeing it at home where I use Chrome mainly.

And yes, I think it is when I search specifically for the370z.com using advanced search on google.com and click a result.

Like if you put "site:the370z.com 2013 370z" (without quotes) in google search to restrict results to this site like I do from work a lot, where I'm not logged into the site anyway.
