Missing URL Site When Clicking On Forums On Search Sites

2 posts in this topic

I've been having this problem for a while now, and I wanted to know if it was just me.

Usually, to get into this forum, I usually type on google "Ravens forum" I click the link to this site, and every once in a while, I get this "MISSING URL" site with something saying how windows 7 is awesome or something...and a bunch of MJ albums in the left hand side.

Is it google's fault? I was thinking no because I only get that on this site, and I was wondering whether or not it will be fixed in the near future.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you might have malware on your computer; I had a similar problem, where every search result from Google that I clicked would redirect me to something else entirely.

Run a scan using anti-malware software and run a virus scan on top of that. If that doesn't work, here's what I did (assuming you're running on a PC):

1) Download ComboFix, MalwareBytes, and Microsoft Software Essentials using a clean computer, then copy all three onto a flash drive
2) Use ComboFix on the infected machine
3) Follow up with a scan by MalwareBytes
4) Install Microsoft Software Essentials and run a complete scan
5) Follow up with an additional scan by MalwareBytes

The multiple scans are sometimes necessary so as to catch what may have been missed the first time.

To check to see if you truly have malware, go to Microsoft's website and try to download Security Essentials; if it doesn't allow you to download MSE or update your current anti-virus software, that means that you're definitely infected.

Note that you should only have ONE anti-virus program alongside an anti-malware scanner. You can have more than one anti-malware scanner, but it's only recommended that you have no more than two. You definitely SHOULD NOT, however, have multiple anti-virus programs because they will cancel each other out.
