Is anyone else getting rerouted from GSUS to a virus program when you use Google?

[ximmy]

I believe someone at Google has targeted our site and redirects persons who click on our link that google provides.

This does not happen with any other search engine, only google.

So when a stranger tries to open GSUS web page from google they are directed to download a virus.

This keeps people from finding us.

If I close the virus window and reclick GSUS it directs properly.

The google search result definitely redirects to that site, even though the link looks ok. Considered to be a browser hijacker that infects the browser and redirects search results links to their own network of web sites. Potentially loads their own adverts into legitimate pages as they load.

Gold Silver Chat also appears to be affected. Not sure if this is a sign of an infected browser or some trickery they have been able to achieve in google to provide a display text that looks like a URL while the actual URL goes to that web site.

I wonder if it is a problem with the Cloud Flare caching service. Perhaps it has been hacked or has some vulnerability in the site caching side of things.

When I use firefox 44.0 on lubuntu 12.04, it all works the way it should. No redirect.

edit: I also have Adguard and Adblock Edge installed

This has happened to me twice in the recent past. I definitely clicked on www.gold-silver.us/forum and not an alternative link in the search results. I normally just use the link in Firefox's frequently visited sites, though.

I think the main thing to determine is, is it a problem with google results or individual users browsers being hijacked.

I confirm I get the redirect from google results on 2 different web sites. Others like kitco and GIM2 appear ok. Currently scanning system for "in-house" issues.
Crimethink says happened before from "some" google links but not all
jewboos confirms some links to here show behaviour - seems to agree with Crimethink

Vacuum says no

I'm running Kaspersky IS and MBAM Premium, so the likelihood of a browser hijack is extremely low. My intuition says (((Google))) is screwing with sites they want to paint as "malware-infested." They've done this with "pirate" sites, too.

I came up clean but I am on throw away systems anyway. More concerned about people trying to get here being hijacked

When I was messing around with the link it flashed up the caching service, the name escapes me right now....something fire. That service runs a global network of cache servers and ISP's serve up pages and content from that network to save on traffic costs of getting pages and content from the source. Obviously the more popular sites and content get cached closer to end users that are accessing it. The cache gets updated if the source changes.

I think the search results were served from the cache and the cache might be compromised. I noticed a streaming site I visit was having issues several times this week, page or content not found. I got a page from the cache service a couple times saying network or domain issues were happening.
