Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Why can I no longer access a URL that I have been using often?
I am running Windows XP & using IE7 and also run RoboForm. I am trying to access this … www.viralurl.com … website. It is a URL cloaking site and I am a registered user. No matter how I try to access it nothing happens and no matter how I try to access it from this computer it will only open a blank page. I have been happily using it for sometime when suddenly 3 days ago it acts as if it doesn't exist any more, I can open it and login in on another computer and I have downloaded Firefox and can access it through that which leads me to believe it is an IE problem. Really hope somebody can help with this mystery. Hi, First, with the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as passwords and you will have to reinstall browser add-ons, work through this article: 936213- How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/en-us Next... 926431- Error message when you start IE7 or try to access a website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926431 Be sure to try this step: Turn on the Windows Firewall from Control Panel> Windows Firewall and disable any third-party firewall, security suite or other security programs to see if a third-party program is causing the problem.

"It is proven that many customers; when they see your affiliate link in the URL bar, replace it with their own, and often even just cut it off! This means, your hard work and marketing costs are being blown with the customer RIPPING you off." That was a good laugh. Us customers are ripping off the spammers. Good one. > I am running Windows XP & using IE7 and also run RoboForm. I am trying to > access this … www.viralurl.com … website.

You might be getting a blank page because this spam site wants to ensure that you allow painting of all banners. If your browser, popup blocker, or other security software is configured to block some content on their page, it refuses to paint any of their page. In fact, the browser will get stuck in a script loop. Check the status bar in the web browser to see if you see a repeating and flashing alternating messages about waiting for content and an iframe error. Their server will continue pushing more content until its script detects the banners. Then, if you do get their web page, and when you attempt to exit the browse (i.e., leave their web page), and is typical of a spammer, they attempt to open a new instance of the web browser (via their ExitPOP() function) to show an popup dialog and an exit web page trying to get you to subscribe. Oh yeah, real polite site ... not! This site is appropriately named. And you want help using a spam-help site to hide the content of your spam URLs. |
