Facebook, NVMC down? redirects to forumotion.com

anyone able to get into Facebook or the Northern Virginia Mustang Club's forum since last night? I get a redirect to forumotion.com ....

I can get to both,

Better check for malware or check your host file.

I'm scanning one machine now, but I can't get to it from any machine connected through my router.

DNS issue with ISP?

Actually, only my LAPTOPS are affected. My one wired machine on the ethernet cable works fine. it's pointing to Malware right now, so I'm running all 3 programs. So far it's only when I try to go to facebook or the NVMC web site. nothing else. it's point to a redirecting malware, but so far nothing is coming up. Thanks for the feedback james, wish it wasn't so damn hot I'd race tonight!

if it is malware or similar, check the hosts file like was said and check your IE settings to see if whatever it was set you up on a proxy server. Have you tried another browser?

nailed it, little fucker. not sure how it snuck in but MalwareBytes caught it. All is well. Once I started getting redirects across multiple sites, I knew I had something...

MalwareBytes is the sh!t...Glad you caught it!

If you ever get one that won't allow MalwareBytes to run download a program called rkill. It will stop all the malware/spyware services on your computer so you can clean them off. You may have to run it from safe mode but it will work.

Thanks, bookmarked. I use adaware, spybot and malwarebytes, along with McAfee. I'll add that to my toolset...

Same hear, but if malwarbytes can install or run or any other scanners, I start going though the registry or reimage. Rkill should save some time.

Would not mind a copy for server 2008 if you got it.
