Sometimes VKontakte users are faced with a problem such as a blocked account. You don’t have to get very upset and panic, but just follow our tips on how to unlock “Contact”. There are several options for action, and they depend on why the site does not give you access to your page.
How to unlock "Contact": the reason is the virus
The first way to find out why your site doesn’t work is to try accessing the page from another device: your phone, friend’s computer, tablet, and so on. If you freely go to your page from these devices, it means that your computer has caught a virus, and it needs to be urgently resuscitated. To do this, find the "C: WINDOWSsystem32driversetc" folder and find the "hosts" folder. Find the line “127.00.1 localhost” and delete everything that is after it. Do not forget to save all the changes, and after that close all folders and windows and restart the computer. Check it for viruses with your antivirus program.
How to unlock "Contact": why did I catch a virus?
As we already mentioned, the previous blocking of VKontakte login occurred due to the fact that you caught a virus. Where they are caught and how to protect themselves from this, we will write now. No need to go to porn sites, download dubious programs that promise you free voices and other free benefits. Remember the free mousetrap cheese. When you download a program from a dubious manufacturer or with spy qualities to your device, this is a 99% guarantee that a virus will settle on your computer, which will one day make itself known. The same goes for adult entertainment sites. Often they contain viruses that completely block not only the page, but the entire computer, requiring you to send an SMS to some number, after which a decent amount of money is charged to you. But the problem is that a miracle does not occur, and the window with extortion continues to hang, even after several SMS. In this case, you can only unlock the page in "Contact" or the entire computer with the help of a specialist.
How to unlock "Contact": the reason is an incomprehensible activity on your page
Each user of the site can receive such a message in his life at least once in his life. The VKontakte system may not like something: you were too active today, sent out a lot of invitations, a “captcha” constantly visited you, you wrote a lot of messages containing the same text. So you are a spammer, defines "VKontakte". The next day, you can no longer log in to your page, and the system will write to you that there was suspicious activity on your page. Thus, VKontakte blocks those who want to conduct their business on its site for free and, of course, struggling with real spammers. In this case, you are given the opportunity to open the page by entering your phone number. An SMS will be sent to it with a code that will return access to your page, however, only if you previously linked this number to your account. Otherwise, you will have to write to the support team and find out the relationship with them. Sometimes this does not end with success, so attach a phone number to your page and the question of how to unlock "Contact" will be solved with one click of your fingers, as they say. Next, we'll talk about the most unpleasant reason to block your page.
How to unlock "Contact": hacking a page
There is another reason why you cannot get to the site, and it is the most unpleasant, because you were the victim of intruders. Your page can simply be hacked. This happens after you follow the dubious link that was sent to you, or you saw it yourself and decided to go see it. Our advice is better not to do this. You won’t even notice how a certain virus will begin to collect information about your data and will be able to pick up a password to log into all your accounts. The cure for this:
- Create a very complex password to log in to VKontakte.
- Do not follow the links, even if you just sent them the best friend. Ask him again: “Did you send me this now?”
- Do not store your passwords on the computer, they can be spied by a malicious virus.
- To register an account, use a separate e-mail, so that if it is hacked, attackers could not get into your accounts.
Today we looked at ways to unblock a page in "Contact" and / or not get into this unpleasant situation. Be careful and remember that on the Internet, as in real life, there are also villains. A good antivirus program will help simplify your life, but the main decision is still yours.
