Problems in Civfanatics.

[Kramsib]

Hi there,

I am trying to enter www.civfanatics.com but when the page is loaded it jumps into another one, errorsafe.com which seems to me to be a tricky site.

I wonder if you have the same problem as me or If I had special stuff on my computer which redirects me to that web.

Thank you.

I can get to forums.civfanatics.com just fine.

Of course not . It's a pitty you think like that.

I have just discovered I have a piece of spyware in my computer thanks to some good Apolytoners.

Error Safe is Malware and I think I am in someway infected.
Not found any exe file related to it, but the effects are clear:

Any time I want enter Civfanatics I am redirected to Error Safe site.

Check your computer for spyware or viruses. Some sites will do that - transfer you to another site (won't even see the site you want to go to). Our entire network at work got hit with a virus or spyware like that (all pages redirected themselves to afternic).


Try this:

Start->Run and type in command (or cmd)

type: ipconfig /flush dns (might be /flushdns)
Shut down your PC fully (cold boot - turn it off, then on).
That might be a temporary fix.

If you never run spyware and malware check, you have to be totally infested. Same for cleaning registry.

I often update my Antivirus and I usually check my computer with Ad-Aware, but finally here is some info about this problem:

It seems it was one of the banners in CivFanatics
