What is up?

[20 PAT's]

Every time I try to access the site from google I get redirected to file123.com or something like that and it tries to add some popup crap to my PC. What gives???

Google redirection smacks of a virus infection. And some of these can be some pretty nasty rootkit infections. Start running Malware Bytes, Super Antispyware, Spybot Search and Destroy and most any others that you have. In safe mode if possible. If it is a rootkit, you may have to get to some harsher programs. And you may want to think about saving a copy of your pictures and other files as a full re-format may end up being necessary. Rootkits are very, very hard to get rid of.

Same here, a little scary when I'm usually accessing the site from work too!

Hard to say but seems fixed. Wouldn't always redirect to there, happened arbitrarily. Will keep an eye out though...

IE8 because it was the only one that work allowed.

Wow, that sucks. We were told to please not use IE of any version because almost all of the virus/malware attacks they were experiencing were coming through IE...

Been running chrome and haven't had any problems(knocking on wood) and i love the features it has...i haven't ran IE since IE6 or so i believe so i'm not sure how far IE has come from that version but i don't see myself going back.

just tried to search with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and both went to 123Fileshare...

It's a hack on my VBSEO program.
I have deleted all the files. Seems to be fixed now.

hooray!!!! do I need to be concerned that this has effected (affected?) my PC?

 

[Slingblade61]

No. It was just a redirect

 

[LeftyHoges]

Cool, good work Sling!
