I keep getting redirected to a different website.

since it's happening in multiple browsers it indicates that the issue is possibly within your firewill and/or other settings on the mac.

also could be an issue w/ the compatibility of the site w/ your mac computer.

I had a sort of "Geniuos" app d/loaded by mistake and gave me lot of problems similar to yours. I had to click on links always twice before getting where I wanted to. But this in Firefox in which I enabled AdBlock Plus add-on and things got better. Unfortunately:

- sometimes still happens. Can't get Apple's questionary to be done because something like "www.allzillions ecc ecc site" appears.

- I do not use Safari, so I can't tell.

Cheers

Simon

You're not the first to report being redirected to that site recently. I haven't gotten a handle on the cause yet, but you should find a solution here:

It's possible, as pointed out by luxuryliner67, that this is caused by having installed Genieo. If you have, see:

also you may want to adjust your gatekeeps settings in safari, the following article addresses gate keeper and how to utilize it:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290

this may well resolve the redirect issue you're having!

Gatekeeper is not a part of Safari, nor are its settings found in Safari, and adjusting the Gatekeeper settings will have absolutely no effect on this problem. Its purpose is not related to this sort of issue.

correction to my post i meant to put the settings are in system preferences not safari, sorry for the confusion.

also i posted this in the wrong discussion so again i apologize for the error!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.

That suggests that your internet service provider's domain name servers got hacked or "poisoned." You should alert them to the problem. They may already be on it, and it may be fixed by now.

I've followed your posts re safari redirecting to other sites. I rebooted in safe mode and the problem didn't happen but when I went back to regular mode it recurred. This is what I've done. Please help and thanks in advance

Syytem Preferences > Network > WiFi or Ethernet > ( Advanced) > DNS ...

... should have either:

• EXACTLY the numbers your ISP gave you.

• a public DNS such as OpenDNS:

1. 208.67.220.220
2. 208.67.222.222 I have added these numbers w/o success.

I have deleted items in library>launch agents, caches, saved applications states, ? deamons

used malwarebytes, tried adblock

deleted kulorest, akamaihd.net (reappears)
