Malware redirect to rc12.overture.com

Response of other browsers to problem

Downloaded each browser: Chrome, Firefox; Opera and tested each for address www.vistaprint.com as well as other sites for Vistaprint that were found on a search....
Each browser responded the same as IE to the command and was NOT able to go to web-site... all browsers are able to go to other vistaprint sites with additional directions.... such as: http://smallbiz.vistaprint.com, or http://ir.vistaprint.com, http://careers.vistaprint.com

NONE are able to go to vistaprint.com

Should I uninstall these other browsers at this time.....
 
Yes, please uninstall then them.

Next test is to try webproxy.

Please visit myproxy.ca and let me know if you are able to visit vistaprints.com using that webproxy.
 
Visit web-proxy

Uninstalled Chrome, Opera and Firefox.
Went to site: myproxy.ca you requested and was successful visiting vistaprint.com

Hope this leads us to an eventual success in unblocking the site...
 
answer to question

I do connect via a router..... I have another PC and a laptop that also share the connection..... BTW, I am able to connect to vistaprint.com via the other PC as well as the laptop....
 
Do you have manual available for that router?

I ask because it needs to be resetted.
 
Then please read it how to reset router, do that and post back if it helped :)

Change router password as well, please.
 
Router reset request

I read the manual info about resetting the router and I am very hesitant to do this myself...my son is a software engineer and spent a very lot of time getting my router set up and getting my home network up and working... For some BAD cosmic computer karma....I have problems with tasks that do not happen in other homes..and my son spends a lot of time working out solutions.. I talked to my son about the router reset request, and he is also very leary about doing a reset... He instructed me to the router config page online, and we looked at the ACCESS RESTRICTIONS page and there were NO restrictions setup and none are listed...

Our question is: if the router is blocking my access to the stated web-site on my computer, how is it allowing access thru the 2nd PC and the laptop?

Is there another corrective means we can try?

In the meantime, I think I will take the router out of the loop, and see if the computer can access the web-site with only my computer connected to the modem....
 
Router f/u

took router out of the loop, restarted computer and attempted to go to website vistaprint.com with the same result....IE unable to connect....
 
OK so it is not router.

Go start - run, type notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Copy/paste contents of opening file here, please.
 
file run report

The following errors occurred with your submission:
The text that you have entered is too long (375091 characters). Please shorten it to 64000 characters long.

is there a way to zip the file or send it in multiple divided files?
 
Yes that website is included to hosts and that's why you are not able to access it.

We can remove it from hosts if you like to and you should be able to access website again.
 
host run file

I do not understand your reply.....

I was able to run the notepad file as you requested, but was NOT able to post the copied file in the reply window because the file was too large to display.... thus I saved the file and created a PDF file and attached it to the reply I sent.... I will send the file again with this post as an attachment...View attachment 4777
 
Yes but first attachment was fine.

Go again start - run, type notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Do a search for vistaprint and remove all matching entries, save the file as all files (*.*).

Let me know if you are now able to access that site.
 
Well there are results as there were two hits in pdf you sent me :)

Anyway, it is easier way to reset hosts.

Download HostsXpert and unzip it to your desktop.

Open HostsXpert that you earlier unzipped on your desktop

  • Click "Make Hosts Writable?" upper right corner (if available)
  • Click "Restore Microsoft's Original Hosts File" and then click OK
  • Close HostsXpert
Note; IF you used any custom Hosts (eg. MVPS Hosts), you will have put them back manually

Let me know if any change afterwards.
