[SOLVED] Wikipedia problem

4 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/solved-wikipedia-problem.152016/

Hi! I just wanted to ask you guys about a problem I've been having, one I wonder if you're having too. For the past couple of days, when I try to open Wikipedia, I get redirected to a site that tries to sell me domain names. It looks something like this:

*www.freeimagehosting.net/mt9u3

Are you guys getting the same thing? If not, why am I getting it?

I'd really appreciate the help :-D

Fixed for you.
Btw, it's definitely a spyware. Scan your computer with an updated antivirus/antispyware. Goto filehippo.com to download some for free.

Gee, thanks, vyom! You really helped; problem fixed after I installed Spybot S&D on my system!

Glad your problem is solved. Now enjoy browsing the forum.
