Access to Numerous Sites Denied

I go to Amazon.com and search canning supplies. The following link comes up:



So, I click on the link "Discover How Our Tools . . ." and get this:



Whew!

Is that file the cause of your issue or an list of causes? Obviously that would change How I treat it

Sorry, Nigel, the Newegg was a hypothetical "this is what happens" thing. My Post #11 is the real deal.

As additional info, when I search for something on Amazon, I sometimes get "sponsored ads" such as the one in this illustration. These generally come up at the very top of the page. Since I know Amazon is safe, I click on some of their sponsored ads if I want to check something out.

At other times, the search brings up both Prime and not Prime stuff. Sometimes the "not prime" stuff will give me the bad results.

can you open this Wynona? https://nourishedessentials.com/

That looks like a partly failed hijack The hijack has taken you to the site it intended, but that site has already been Expunged from the net

I'm not sure but the amazon URL looks bad to me I would not expect the Amazon name to appear that deep in the Server name

As I start entering the URL for amazon I'm getting mixed messages some sites are crying Foul, but others seem OK with it I may well be a Phishing site but I cannot prove it or disprove it Either

OK, I clicked on your link and understand a bit more, but just a teeny bit.


OMGosh, Nigel, is that the link from Amazon.com that I tried to open?

The link is a report about the Amazon link you reported, it's basically saying that they found a vulnerability in the site's code when they checked it that could be used by a malware writer to take control. It may not have been used as there are other reports stating the site is clean. All I can say is run a full deep scan with malwarebytes and their adware scanner. I'd also run the other one I linked to be sure

Nigel is right. You don't want to click on feed ads at all - even if they're on Amazon. Feed ads are always suspect, no matter whose site you're on. That link was blocked for good reason, so don't try to get around it.

OK, folks, I'll see what else I run into.

Next report tomorrow.
