You can use ZonedOut (http://www.funkytoad.com/content/view/15/33/). And while trying to find the site, make sure to look under the different keys (upper right-hand side of program).

Have you tried running that program and removing the site from its list?

I've never had that happen to me before. It sounds like you have something on your system like NetNanny that might block specific websites?

No net nanny here? using vista i duno what ive done would it have gone in registry that entry too? when i go to site using FF , just blank nothing page tries to go there hmmmm MD

[innerpeace]

Are you using a program like Spyware Blaster that could be blocking the site?

[WSFuser]

Spyware Blaster wouldnt block the sites anyways (see Bubba's post (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1186525&postcount=5)).

Thanks WSFuser, I was just trying to think of something else that may be blocking the site.

@ maddawgz, I re-read the thread and it looks like your best bet would be to contact the Web Block company for assistance. Also, if you have a hosts file manager, did you check to see if the site was listed in your hosts file your refreshed?

[thanatos_theos]

Maybe your ISP blocks you from going to that site. Have you tried using another PC?

thanatos

[maddawgz]

ok spywareblaster i checked nothing?.... used host file editor to check nothing hostxpert even created a new host file, went to the other pc in same house goes to site ok.....so its this stupid pc... also contacted company to ask where theyre blocked sites store and heard nothing frustrating as ??? ???

Tried to re-enstall FF but nothing, Must be registry as IE has problems too , im not going to system restore or ill loose my programs i installed can i check the registry where do i look in there has to be in there somwhere

Don't think Spyware Blaster will block sites. It is supposed to prevent blacklisted sites from executing within the browser (such as Active X).

Could your problem be with the firewall? Firewalls can block access through a browser program.

The only instance where I get "timed out" when loading webpages is when my dialup connection is a faulty one. My browser attempts to go to a website, but it gets nothing because the modem has not been "connected" to the ISP server even though it indicated that I got connected at the beginning. When that happens, I get pissed since I wasted a phone call for nothing. Sometimes it happens in consecutive dialup attempts. >:( :thumbd:

What is that called and what code makes it happen?I would go to site A and the find myself on site B which is a similar site. My browser is not hijacked and al spyware/virus scans are clean?

Now I cannot access the site at all and cannot find it in the restricted site to remove. On trying to access it I am told that I need cookies enabled but I have first and third party and even session cookies enabled. I would appreciate if you could enlighten me

Its called a url redirect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection).

[ccsito]

What is the site that you are trying to go to? Some sites have auto redirects to another URL name because the original site is not technically registered officially. There are many cases where typos are auto directed to another site in an attempt to provide you with what the search engine thinks you had intended. I know that some sites force you to go to the other URL site and if you stop it, then you get an error message and end up with nothing.

Yes very.

It is a free dating site* and the redirect goes to a paid one! But the first page site open too just reduced. You have to close the second and go back to the first.Is that a true redirect when the first one stays open?I think the free one is probably funded by ads but i did not know about redirects without clicking?

* I won't put the url in case it is breaking rules here

[ccsito]

I used to surf to dating sites a few years ago, but never had that type of experience that you mentioned. But I have seen many instances where certain sites automatically open windows to other sites without clicking by forcing you to be redirected to them.

I am a bit confused. Earlier, you stated that you cannot go to the original site at all. Now you say the original site is still there in a reduced size window. If the first window is still there, I would not say it is a true redirect.

There are many sites that force other pop up browser windows to appear with another site even though you did not want to visit them.

-{ Quote: "I am a bit confused. Earlier, you stated that you cannot go to the original site at all. Now you say the original site is still there in a reduced size window. " }-Hi. What I meant is I cannot go to the site at all now.The original site would be there reduced when I could go. But since I added that site to the restricted site I cannot go to it at all
-{ Quote: "If the first window is still there, I would not say it is a true iredirect." }-No I don't think so. I am not really bothered I cannot go to the site,just trying to learn the reasons behind it

What is the term for that, just a pop up is it? Thanks for your feedeback ;)

Thanks for the clarification. What is the term for it? I refer to it as revenue sharing. The Net is about paying all of these fees in order to "harvest" potential customers. That's why Google is worth billions. :wacko:
