Users of popular social networks may be faced with the question of why the browser does not access VK and writes the page is unavailable, requiring a quick solution. After all, if a page is hacked, spam will most likely be sent to all subscribers and friends.
And in any other situations, it is simply advisable to get to your page to continue communication or even work, since some use VKontakte to sell and advertise their products.
Direct users and search engine robots directly to new content
If possible, keep your existing domain. In some cases, however, it is necessary or useful to change the domain. Even then, it can be transferred by purely redirecting the bulk of the link popularity to the new domain. The technical solution for this is called "301-Redirect - Permanently Moved".
Removing a virus from your computer manually
So he doesn't feel anything about the move and gets exactly the content he was looking for. Search engines interpret this 301 redirect not only to mean that the page is now in a different “location”, but also that the content will now be found under the new address.
Problem Analysis
The first step is to make sure that Internet access is really present and working correctly. As a rule, other programs that use the network work in this situation (Skype, ICQ, etc. are available).
But there are cases when they are not there, and it is not possible to install these applications. In this case, you can check the network operation using the command line. To do this, press the key combination Window + R and enter cmd in the window that appears. A terminal should appear in front of the user, where they enter the ping command (then you can try to enter the address of the Yandex website, for example, you will get - ping www.yandex.ru). If the described problem occurs, this command will display a message indicating that it is impossible to connect to the resource. But if you enter ping 8.8.8.8, a message about the successful status will appear.
ping www.yandex.ru
The reasons for the problem when sites do not open can be different. This may be related:
- problems with the DNS service;
- the impact of viruses and malware;
- incorrect proxy server settings;
- incorrect host file configuration;
Results
After access to the page has been restored, the first thing you should do is change the password - regardless of the cause of the problem.
You should also check the system again for viruses and set the normal level of protection, if this has not been done before.
It is also advisable to warn your subscribers and friends in case you receive offers from your page to transfer money or send SMS.
You should also be careful when you receive similar offers from other users - it is possible that they, too, have been hacked.

DNS Service Issues
A common culprit in situations where the browser does not open sites, but Internet access is not blocked, is the operation of the DNS server. This problem can be determined in the way described above, when it was necessary to open the command line and ping the address of any resource by domain name and ip.
Each site has its own location identification number, called an IP address. There are many different resources on the global web and they all have a unique address. In order not to torment a person’s memory, it was invented to create a service that, when entering the name of a site (for example, Yandex), could determine its IP address.
Sometimes situations happen when the provider's DNS server does not work or the network settings in the router or computer are lost. The reason why website pages do not open has been clarified; it remains to explain how to solve this problem.
There are two possible solutions. If the network settings are lost, then here you need to correct them to the correct ones and, if necessary, reboot the equipment. In the event of a DNS failure, you can change the settings on the network adapter. To do this, click “Start” - “Control Panel” - “Network and Internet” - “Network and Sharing Center” - “Change network adapter settings.” Here, on the “Connected to a local network” icon, right-click and select the “Property” option. Then select the TCP version 4 item and in the window that appears, select the “Use the following DNS addresses.” Below in the window, enter 8.8.8.8 (public Google DNS server) or 77.88.8.8 (public Yandex DNS). Then click the “Save” or “Apply” button.
To check the operation, you can open the command line (Window + R – cmd), then you need to check the connection (for example, with Yandex). Enter the command ping www.ya.ru. If you do the right thing, you will be able to see information about the server response time below.
Incorrect proxy server settings
Another reason why sites are not displayed in the browser may be changes or entering data about an incorrect proxy server. At the same time, the computer is connected to the Internet and the connection works in all respects. To correct this situation you need to go to your browser settings. To do this, go to the control panel, where you select the browser (or browser) properties item.
In the menu that opens, select the “Connections” tab and click on the “Network Settings” button.
Here, in the window that appears, they check all the parameters, and if they are not needed, simply erase all the information and select the automatic detection option.
After this, sites should display their pages in browsers.
Incorrect host file configuration
Also, the reason why pages of Internet resources may not open may be an incorrect configuration of the host file. This situation is unlikely, but still worth checking. The host file is designed to record domain names of sites and their IP addresses, but as a rule it is empty and sends all requests to the DNS server. Sometimes situations arise when a malicious program records some parameters and the browser becomes inoperable.
To check the file configuration, you need to go to the Windows system folder on drive C. Next System32\drivers\etc and open host with Notepad. As a rule, it has standard content as shown in the figure:
If, after the description of localhost (127.0.0.1), there are lines with information about any sites and their domain names, and the slash is not next to this data, then most likely the browser does not work properly because of them. To fix this situation, you just need to remove these lines and save the changes to the file. Then you need to restart your computer and try browsing the web again.
The situation when a computer is connected to a network, but sites are inaccessible to the user, occurs frequently. In the first place, this is a problem caused by failures on the ISP side when the DNS servers do not work. The second most common problem when Internet resource sites are unavailable is the impact of malware. In this case, it is recommended to have good anti-virus software and carry out preventive maintenance to detect viruses more often.
Hi all. I think everyone has encountered such a problem, downloaded a file and the antivirus found a virus in it. We think that the virus is neutralized, but in fact it is not. Some viruses continue to run and cause harm to your computer. Here is a vivid example of the fact that the virus remains in your system - we open the browser and want to get to the page of the social network VKontakte or Odnoklassniki, but we can’t do it, these addresses are blocked by the antivirus, and it blocks them because somewhere in our system the virus has taken hold. What to do in such situations? I have a solution and I will tell you how to get rid of it. Be very careful when using this method: we need to find the Hosts file.
You can find it along this path:
Computer - Windows - System32 - drivers - etc - hosts,
when we found this file, we delete it and empty the recycle bin.
Next, we scan the etc
and
the files in this folder for viruses,
and that’s it, our virus has been removed and now we can go to the VKontakte or Odnoklassniki page
