If a site is blocked: what to do

Now on numerous pages in the global Internet the recommendations are given, the adherence to which allows you to log into your social network account, despite the fact that the usual way to access the resource is the message "site blocked." It would seem that if these instructions are public, then no problems should arise. Unfortunately, this is far from being 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 describes the real case. 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 was a safe 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 actively the Network developed, the more attracted the attention of fans of easy money - the creators of malware, better 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, because in such a situation there is a high probability of infecting a computer with a malicious program. In this case, it is not necessary to open any sites - some types of viruses themselves find such unprotected computers.

We did not in vain emphasize the focus on actual protection. Alas, not all antiviruses are quite effective. 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

Understanding the existing danger, a protective complex from 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, 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 numbers, it was decided to contact the administration. Imagine the surprise when clicking on any link led to the opening of the same window. Strangely enough, the administration did not want to enter into a dialogue. That was incredible. To solve the problem of the site being 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

On the letter sent to the support service, a response was received, which indicated the suspicion of infection with the virus and suggested checking the system file hosts. 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 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).

Here is a story. All Internet users need to remember that somewhere on the Web, their personal data (including phone number) should be reported only 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.
