If a site is blocked: what to do

Now on numerous pages in the globalThe Internet contains recommendations that allow you to enter your social network account, despite the fact that the usual way to access the resource is to say "site blocked."

It would seem that if these instructions are public, thenno problems should arise. Unfortunately, this is far from the case. Users begin to search for an answer to the question of how to access the Contact if the site is blocked, only when there are obvious problems with the operation of the social network. Well, folk wisdom does not say in vain about the roast rooster, as well as the peasant and the thunder.

Our today's article is unusual.It not only gives recommendations on what to do if the Vkontakte site is blocked, but a description of the real case is given. Also we will indicate the order of actions that helped restore the system's efficiency.

Network Hazard

Long gone are the days when the Internet wassafe and even a cozy place in which it was possible to communicate peacefully with friends on social networking pages or pay for purchases through online banking services. The more active the Network, the more attracted the attention of fans of easy money - the creators of malware, more commonly known as "computer viruses." Their actions have led to the fact that now it is not recommended to connect without actual anti-virus protection to the global network, as in such a situation there is a high probability of infection of the computer with a malicious program.

In this case, it is not necessary to open any sites - some versions of viruses themselves find such unprotected computers.

We did not in vain emphasize the focus onactual protection. Alas, not all antiviruses are effective enough. When choosing a solution, it is important not only to read the advertising reviews of developers, but also to view messages on the forums. In our case, this was not done.

Site suspended

Realizing the present danger, the computer wasinstalled a protective complex from Russian developers - Dr.Web Security Space seventh version. The program regularly warned of attempts to visit suspicious resources, allowed to flexibly configure the work of the firewall. But one day when I tried to go to the social network page, instead of the message wall, I received a message that the site was blocked for sending spam. To resume work, I was asked to enter my mobile phone number. Fortunately, this was not done. And, quite by accident. Before dialing the cherished figures, it was decided to contact the administration.

Imagine the surprise when pressing anythe link led to the opening of the same window. Oddly enough, the administration did not want to enter into a dialogue. That was incredible. To resolve the issue 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 there was something wrong with the main computer.

Restore working capacity

На отправленное в службу поддержки письмо был An answer was received in which the suspicion of infection with a virus was indicated and it was suggested to check the system file hosts. It is located in the WindowsSystem32driversetc folder. You should open this file with Notepad and delete all IP-addresses, except 127.0.0. localhost. All links to social networks that are here are added by the virus. After reboot, the working capacity is restored. After that, you need to check the system with the antivirus (but not the one that missed the malicious code).

Вот такая история.All Internet users need to remember that somewhere on the Internet to communicate their personal data (including phone number) should only be in special cases, for example, when registering with banking systems. And the usual resources that require confirmation and verification through the phone, you need to ignore. At least because now there are many alternatives.
