welcome to nginx - is this a problem? if so, how do I get rid of it?

hi

when using Safari or Chrome to navigate to a certain site, I get redirected to a screen saying "

Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx."

Is this a problem with the web page, or is this some sort of virus or Trojan in my computer?

I get this message on both my iPad and my Mac.

Thanks

Clay

iMac (24-inch), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Thanks Carolyn

but the nginx site appears after deleting history and restarting my iMac (and also my iPad).

Should I assume that the problem is with the web site's administrator and just wait for him/her to fix the problem?

The website in question is not very important, (www.vizanime.com). So far, it hasn't appeared when I try other websites, but I don't want the problem to grow.

On your Mac with Safari open, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data then click it one more time.

On your iPad tap Settings > Safari then swipe down and tap Clear History & Website Data

Restart your Mac and iPad.

It's a type of malware.

To avoid this issue in the future make sure your iPad's and Mac's operating systems are up to date.

On your Mac open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.

On your iPad tap Settings > General > Software Update
