Has yahoo.co.uk been hacked?
Either I have spyware, I don't know what I'm talking about, or Yahoo.co.uk has been hacked. Everytime I go there I reach a page like in the pic I've attached. Is it just me? Very strange.

looks normal to me, but if it had been hacked they would have restored it quick. Since port is almost an hour old now.
Try it again, clear cookies and cache. If you still have that, break out the spyware busting software. Spybot, adaware, or another you may perfer.

I still have the problem! Restarted, scanned for viruses and spyware, set up zone alarm, nothing. Have I been hacked instead? hehe

OK, to be more seious- I would check your add-remove programs for anything you think you don't want. A lot of times, if AdAware or Spybot doesn't fix the problem, it is because the app. causing the problem is something you installed- most likely packaged with another program you wanted to install.

OK .co.uk AND .com are messed up. I checked it on 2 other computers on our network and they show the same thing. So now it isn't an isolated problem with my computer. What can it be?

Check the hosts file for any entries that redirect the yahoo pages to strange IPs

If this turns out to be a host file redirecting, I am interested in knowning where it is directing.
BustaRomeo, i am at work right now, but when i get home in about 4 hours, I will try to look into this in more detail. I can't experiement on the work computer here. |

OK well yahoo.com has come back now, but not yahoo.co.uk Nothing is being redirected, there's only the local host thing there. The internet here has just gotten extremely slow, are they maybe doing maintenance of sorts?

It is possible they are doing maintance between you and yahoo.co.uk or something is being misdirected that the ISP will correct.

That would be my guess, but my father is the only one who would contact them to find out, and he couldn't be bothered. Looks like a waiting then.

have you tried a different browser like firefox or anything?
I can't do this from work, but maybe someone has the IP address of yahoo.co.uk they could provide you and have you try to direct to them by a direct IP address. Worth a try. |

A tracert www.yahoo.co.uk from the command prompt might shed light on where you are being redirected too. HTH

Ok well yahoo.co.uk and .com are back to normal. Since the last time I spoke the internet has been real slow (still is) and my mother had also reset our network. Thanks to all those who tried to help.
