Another Safari hijack: "http://undeps.vizvaz.com" ?

Since yesterday I get redirected to this site: http://undeps.vizvaz.com

By searching it in Google I came across some blogs saying that this is a browser hijack, but it doesn't mention how to get rid of if on Safari.

What should I do?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I think it is just the site - there is a redirect sequence that looks like this:


[12:03:07.760] GET http://www.clinical.bioiatriki.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2 8&Itemid=30 [HTTP/1.1 302 OK 332ms]

[12:03:08.133] GET http://qertea.instanthq.com/ [HTTP/1.1 302 Found 377ms]

[12:03:08.513] GET http://undeps.vizvaz.com/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2582ms]



This was via firefox - if I use lynx (character based browser) with a lynx user agent string, I get to www.clinical.bioiatriki.gr no problem.

No, it isn't. - Report it to the site owners, by all means, since they've been hacked, partly due to seemingly persisting with a version of Joomla that was superseded in January 2011.


Modifications to the website, not google code, redirect the visitor if the referer header matches something - in this case a click from google. But some are random, or redirect one google search every now & then, or maybe only if the search query was of a certain kind.
