"Hostmonster" +Youtube = getting redirected every time i click a video

The_Ish · Mar 6, 2013, 05:13 PM

What the title says. It began out of the blue. I haven't installed anything recently. And it's really really annoying, since I can't watch anything without getting immediately redirected.

Run Malwarebytes, virus scan, etc.

Clear your browser cache.

Didn't help any of it. It did find some viruses though..

hostmonster is bluehost and they are an evil hosting company so I wouldn't put it past them to pull this crap.

wait, do you mean that you run a website through hostmonster and that website has embedded youtube links that are being redirected?

The_Ish · Mar 7, 2013, 12:56 AM

No, I don't run any website. Every time I go to youtube.com and click on any link to any video, it loads that page for about half a second, and then redirects me to this page: http://mdsad.com/yt.html?id=W0wqyheCGOI

They all have different letter/number combinations, but the page looks the same always.

run with a chrome/firefox extension called noscript might help with the redirects.

It could also prevent pages from loading up correctly.

I tried manually blocking it through adblock. Seems to be working.

usually means your ISP is having DNS issues.
