Now, on numerous pages on the global Internet , recommendations are made which, if followed, allows you to log into your social network account, despite the fact that with the usual methods of accessing the resource, the message “the site is blocked” is displayed.
It would seem - since these instructions are publicly available, then no problems should arise.
Unfortunately, this is far from the case. Users begin to look for the answer to the question of how to get into Contact if the site is blocked, only when there are obvious problems with the social network. Well, folk wisdom does not speak in vain about a roasted rooster, as well as a peasant and thunder.
Our article today is unusual. It does not just give recommendations on what to do if the VKontakte site is blocked , but provides a description of the real case. We will also indicate the procedure that helped restore the system.
Network hazard
Long gone are the days when the Internet was a safe and even comfortable place where you could easily chat with friends on the pages of social networks or pay for purchases through online banking services. The more actively the Network developed, the more attracted the attention of lovers of easy money - the creators of malicious programs, better known as “computer viruses." Their actions led to the fact that now it is not recommended to connect to the global network without up-to-date antivirus protection, since in such a situation there is a high probability of a computer being infected with malware.
At the same time, it is not necessary to open any sites at all - some types of viruses themselves find such unprotected computers.
We did not in vain focus on the actual protection. Alas, not all antiviruses are quite effective. When choosing one or another solution, it is important not only to read the advertising reviews of developers, but also to view posts on the forums. In our case, this was not done.
The site is blocked.
Understanding the danger, a protective complex from the Russian developers, Dr.Web Security Space of the seventh version, was installed on the computer. The program regularly warned of attempts to visit suspicious resources, and allowed flexible configuration of the firewall. But once when trying to go to the page of a social network, instead of a message wall, a message was issued that the site was blocked for spamming. To resume work, it was proposed to enter your mobile phone number. Fortunately, this was not done. Moreover, by accident. Before dialing the cherished numbers, it was decided to contact the administration.
Imagine surprise when clicking on any link led to the opening of the same window. Oddly enough, the administration did not want to engage in dialogue. That was incredible. To solve the problem with the fact that the site is blocked, an attempt was made to access the resource from another device. And it succeeded. It became obvious that something was wrong with the main computer.
Restore performance
A response was received to the letter sent to the support service, which indicated a suspected virus infection and suggested checking the hosts system file. It is located in the Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \ folder. This file should be opened with notepad and delete all IP addresses except 127.0.0. localhost. All links to social networks located here are added by the virus. After a reboot, health is restored. After that, you need to check the system with antivirus (but not the one that missed the malicious code).
Here is a story. All Internet users need to remember that somewhere on the Web to communicate their personal data (including phone number) should only be in special cases, for example, when registering in banking systems. And the usual resources that require confirmation and verification by telephone should be ignored. If only because now there are many alternatives.
