Janesy B · 21 Jul 2009 at 13:39

Fine for me. You've been hacked by the jobcentre

one of those damn annoying malware things, everytime you click a redir link from google it goes to a placeholder for something stupid like viagra or porn. Also tends to block access to anti-virus sites!

i suspect internal network support are trying to send me a sneaky message !

Work PCs do get viruses...I know as I have to fix bloody loads of them!

something like that.

Ive not been told anything, and guys in INS do have a sense of humour, so its not serious.

Doubt i'll get the acess back though ! im lucky that overclockers has gone under the radar for so long.

try ctrl-F5. we have weird dns issues at work that point to random web sites

Problem with proxy sites, especially one with a blatant name like that, it will will be picked up and it'll still look like you're up to no good

lol that's quite funny. The guys in IT at my old place were *****!

Fr0dders · 21 Jul 2009 at 14:38

i thought so too !

the choice of websites to refer to was so apt it couldnt be anything other than somebody playing games !

Its the only website thats doing it as well, highly unlikely theres a virus out there that just targets pistonheads. ESPECIALLY given that pistonheads.co.uk has always been blocked. And ive been pushing it by using .com which they forgot to block

Try www.bryan-janes.co.uk, I'd be interested if that defeats the system

Bad luck

Sounds like you have indeed possibly acquired a browser hijack.
