web link error or hijacked

[ejndssn]

well folks when i type in comancheclub i get redirected to webring.org site :dunno: any one having these same problem. i figured i may mention it now

I've never had any sort of redirection, but I'm tired of the webring :typing: issues. soon as I re-figure out how to alter the front page, I'm eliminating it.

It has happened to me a few times before, but it seems rare that it does that. There is no rhyme nor reason as to when or why it happens.

an older website that would link together other websites of a common topic.

I don't know if this helps (or if I am right for that matter) but I assume it is either your DNS has been hijacked or your web browser has been hijacked.

 

When I ping http://www.comancheclub.com, I get a reply from 208.92.161.68. If you don't, you can try flushing your DNS. (ipconfig /flushdns).

 

Alternatively, you can point to a different dns server. I use 4.2.2.2. It is verizons dns. If you do this, you will still need to flush dns. Changing the dns server and then doing a good ol reboot will work. Write down your original address before you change though. Just in case you don't like the result.

 

If that doesnt work, I would guess you have some crap inadvertantly installed on your computer. Spyware scanners may help you there.

 

You may be able to work around it by using google chrome too.
