I was getting this same annoying issue. So bad that I couldn’t even use my computer at my house do to the virus blocker. The work computer was a hit or miss but per other threads explaining this same situation. It is Google all you have to do is type the370z.com on the address bar and access granted every time. Can’t take the credit thought I forget who stated that but it worked.

Google sent out 20,000 emails to forum, website owners last week to let them know they are affected as many owners have NO clue their site is redirected on google. I Never use google to go to my site.

I'm working on the issue and it's NOT a easy task. So please have patience. In the mean time, I want you to

a. Make the370Z your homepage. You're on here 24/7 anyway so making it homepage will prevent you from getting that error link. If you do not want to make it your homepage on your browser permanently, just do it until the problem is fixed. Thanks

b. Avoid using Google to search the370z and click on it. THE370Z is 7 letter website name. Just go to the top address bar and type "www.the370z.com". It's quicker.

I'll keep you guys posted what happens. thanks

AK

Damn you google masters of the interwebs.

on a side note, is an infiltration to Google that isn't noticed until their clients and user mass cry and bitch about, something that happens often?

Google wasn't infiltrated, they were just using an exploit of the vBulletin google stats plugin that is used on this site.

Still having issues. Tried with Firefox and Chrome. Even tried searching via yahoo and it still redirects. Type it directly in the address bar and it's redirecting to this site URL123.INFO - free url redirection and masking service

Edit: Think I got it. I cleared cache and browsing history

-_- I always got angry because my anti-virus always 404d the google links of the website and came up with a red sign saying Trojan present. At least I know why now.

It doesn't matter what browser you're using or how clean your computer is. Try it on your phone and you'll get the same results, but it is very risky. Google has a site analyzer deal and indicated this site (and others) has served malware (lots of Trojans). It's terrible because this site is unpredictable so I try to kill the browser process immediately when the site pops up.

I did some reading and perhaps some server scripts were maliciously modified. Some people tried to CHMOD the scripts and it still got modded.

CHMOD doesn't work because it is using an escalation of privilege via a bug in vBulletin server. Right now the script is pretty benign, just a redirect, you can cancel and go back without issue. They could at some point inject a more malicious script, and that is the primary concern. AK is on it, in the meantime just exercise caution. There have been zero reports of anyone getting a malicious download from this site, the issue only affects external site searches.

I actually got a pretty nasty fake antivirus hijack program from that redirect a couple weeks back that was a huge pain to clean. Definitely be careful.

I'm really sorry for the issue and truly appreciate your patience. There are some lowlife scumbags who loves spamming other websites for their own benefit. But the issue is resolved. Thank you

The spam redirect from Google (or search engines) has been resolved (AK370z)
