Title: AM Window being Hijacked
Post by: WA1QHQ on December 23, 2015, 03:30:43 PM
When I tried to go to the AM Window website I kept getting a page that popped up called GVisit. Anybody know whats going on.

I just went to amwindow.org. All is normal.  

Not sure what you saw. Maybe try flushing your DNS cache.

Flushed the DNS cache and the problem is still there, I wonder if others are seeing this also.

Dunno. I just checked a bunch of pages on the site. All came up FB. Checked using a Web proxy service (different path, their DNS, etc) and everything still looked good.

I brought the window up with both Mozilla Fire Fox &
Internet Exploder with no problem...

I just tried and got re-directed to GVisit. It looks like the Window opens, then it loads the GVisit but you can't go back to the Window.

Steve,

This is the URL of the Hijack site ...

http://ww31.gvisit.com/?fp=8InVWxZBCz5%2B5mFTpzeNg%2B0S665aB3IQxaDkmwDyIVb3zzutfM%2BmwjrOnSJ6AdrRTATvy76Em8v8ApMGHrWicw%3D%3D&prvtof=4HNdUFjGTsH6uNB20KRwJN9FdNnBvo5Fo4gyfdPIEPnu%2FEooiN%2FknbI2sZWrrqMH&poru=yQIQeRGFo7RvYqkx4sHOj7unvjIRXDeXJbmIdgi92MYO0vCft9AWLJgviIOw154Quivd0NKtx%2BtBfBcqjYBezG7faUE6aseOXEmGObBbMNWq36lUBBR9yK8N85wZNGgo&cifr=1&sid=c40b52eb4e9553d301fa03cd7368a4e8

And, if you look at the page sourcre, this is at the bottom:


<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.gvisit.com/record.php?sid=c40b52eb4e9553d301fa03cd7368a4e8" type="text/javascript"></script>

Don't know if that should be there or not, but it does mention GVisit.

Thanks for the alert. I didn't see it since I run a plug-in that kills most Javascript. Makes pages load much faster!

"gvisit tracks website visitors and shows you, on a world map, where the visitor is located geographically. It’s free, although only the last 20 visitors are shown if you don’t donate."

it should have worked silently. more spying anyway.
