Hello dear readers of the blog site. As a rule, you may need to restore for several reasons. The most common case is loss of access to it  (forgot the password, lost the phone to which the page was linked during registration and now it is impossible to enter the VK). And also options are possible when the page was for one reason or another blocked.

Your page could hack, therefore, I can’t get into Contact (the cracker could have time to change the password). In this case, you will need to try to restore access on this page as described just above, i.e. use recovery tools:

1. https://vk.com/restore  - if the account was tied to a phone number.
2. https://vk.com/restore?act\u003dreturn_page  - if there was no linking of the page to the phone number or you no longer own this number.

How to restore a page previously deleted from VK?

If you yourself deleted your page and then changed your mind, or when someone who obtained unauthorized access to your account deleted it for you, then it can still be restored within 7 months. To do this, just go to the Vkontakte website with your username and password, and then in the window that opens, click on the link "restore your page":

However, if 7 months have passed from the date of removal, then you will have to contact technical support Contact  (or write a letter to Email [email protected]) with a request to restore the page, and not the fact that they can help you, although the chances of success still exist. You may need to prove your rights to this page and wait a while for it to be extracted from the archives and finally restored.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

Currently, a huge number of sites are infected with viruses. Usually webmasters call viruses any malicious code that in one way or another harms the work of the site or visitors. Some viruses perform a harmless redirect to sites of warez applications, gambling or sites for adults. Others, using vulnerabilities in browsers or plug-ins, penetrate the visitor’s computer and infect the operating system, performing destructive operations. But no matter how harmful the action of a particular virus is, any malicious code must be removed from the site as early as possible and that is why.

The presence of a virus on the site leads to the fact that the latter is pessimized by the search system, loses its position in the search results, and traffic drops significantly. The drop in attendance may be due to two problems:

1. the site is in the search engine database and is marked as suspicious or malicious
2. the site is in the anti-virus database (for example, Kaspersky)

The result is one: the site loses traffic, loyalty of users and search engines. In order to restore positions or remove a site from the database of “suspicious”, you will have to spend a lot of time and effort.

Quickly and efficiently cure a site of viruses by eliminating re-infection, experts who always remove malicious code from sites, quickly record its modifications and analyze methods of hacker attacks will always help. Professional assistance in the treatment and protection of web projects helps save time on unsuccessful experiments, and most importantly, avoid repeated hacks and infections.

Quickly (up to 48 hours), with a guaranteed result and at a fixed price, the site security problem will be solved by the specialists of the company “Revision”, just fill out the application form for treatment.

How a site gets infected with a virus

A site is infected with a virus in several ways:

1. an attacker hacks a site through vulnerabilities in scripts or on a server, modifies server settings, templates or php scripts so that malicious code on javacript appears on the page, or a redirect is performed under a certain condition to a third-party site.

   To prevent this from happening, you need to strengthen the site’s security: regularly update the version of the operating system on the server and scripts of the site management system, correctly set privileges for directories, use secure PHP / Perl settings on the server, regularly change passwords from the admin panel, etc. P.

2. a virus on the site owner’s computer intercepts the FTP password, sends it to an attacker or bot, which in turn connects via FTP and infects the site (see paragraph 1)

   To prevent this from happening, you need to use a secure SFTP connection instead of FTP, do not store passwords in an FTP client, change FTP passwords more often, check your computer with antivirus.

How to detect a virus

Search engines, browsers, antiviruses and sometimes site visitors help detect viruses. The search engine usually sends a report that the site poses a threat to visitors through the webmaster’s interface. An anti-virus or browser (for example, Chrome) blocks access to the infected site, which is located in the database of infected sites, and displays a warning to the user when accessing such a resource. The site owner is recommended to use the tools of the webmaster Yandex and Google in order to monitor the performance of their resources. Monitoring traffic also helps in detecting malicious code: a noticeable decrease in site traffic can be a signal for the presence of a redirect or infection of the site.

Many site owners are not even aware of the presence of viruses on their resources, since malicious code can work under certain conditions (a specific time, the number of clicks on a page, access from a specific browser or mobile device). Such malware can exist on the site for months, or even years. To detect them, you need both an external analysis of the site and an internal analysis of the state of scripts and the server.

1. For an external analysis of the site’s work, the Chome browser, Kaspersky antivirus and two webmaster panels (Yandex.Webmaster and Google Webmaster Tool) are suitable. In addition to the rich webmaster toolkit (including the network analyzer and traffic sniffer), the Chrome browser has a built-in Google Safe Browsing service that will show if the infected site is in the Google Safe Browsing database.
2. For internal analysis, it is recommended to use specialized tools to search for malicious scripts and traces of a site hack:
   •   to search for shells, viruses and other malicious scripts among site scripts
   •   to search for rootkits on a dedicated (VDS / VPS) server
   • ClamAV to scan for viruses under Unix

What to do if a virus is found on the site

1. Check your computer with a commercial antivirus with regularly updated databases
2. Change all passwords (access to hosting, to the site admin panel)
3. Perform external and internal site analysis described in the previous section
4. Remove malicious code from templates and scripts
5. Strengthen server and script security (for tips on enhancing security, see the "Site Security" group

How not to freeze?

Check your computer with an updated antivirus, don’t follow different links offering to see more candid photos of friends, find out hidden information about friends, while requiring you to enter your username and password or sending an SMS to a number or simply clicking on the link, and there it’s already a virus on computer.

If there are no problems with all of the above, they did nothing of the kind and still froze, now we will write a little about why the freezing occurs.

One of these reasons is the active invitation of friends to your list. Although the system itself allows you to send 50 applications per day, you still will not have time to reach this mark, and the system will perceive it as spam and freeze the page. Therefore, if you are a hot friend, then just do not rush, but invite 5-10 friends a day.

If the program is an unknown manufacturer, then no one is responsible for these words, and the use of personal data will be completely unknown until you discover that someone has sent spam or just blocked access.

Instruction manual

The VKontakte virus blocks access to a social network using the hosts system file, which is used to map a friendly network address to a digital IP address. The IP address is a combination of four digits separated by dots, such as the IP address of the VKontakte site - 87.240.143.244. It is inconvenient for people to remember, but computers need it to communicate with each other. The principle of the hosts file is very simple. It is enough to register the usual site name in it and add the IP address to which the computer must go in order to get to the specified site. This is what the virus does. He adds the name vkontakte.ru to the file, but does not compare it with the IP address of this site, but with the IP address of the scam site, which contains a fake page with a blocking message. Therefore, in fact, your page is not blocked, as you can see by accessing it from an uninfected computer. To access the VKontakte site on an infected computer, you must first find and remove the virus, and then clear the hosts file from the entries made by it.

To find the VKontakte virus that infected a Windows XP computer, open the My Computer window and click the Search button. In the left side column, click the "Files and Folders" button. In the appropriate field, enter the file name - vkontakte.exe. Expand “Advanced search options” and check the boxes for the items: “Search in system folders”, “Search in hidden files and folders” and “View subfolders”. Click the Find button.

On Windows 7 or Vista operating systems, open the Computer window and go to drive C, type vkontakte.exe in the search field and press Enter. If nothing appears in the results, repeat the search in the Computer area.

Delete all detected vkontakte.exe files and repeat the search for vk.exe. The VKontakte virus may have a different name for disguise purposes. If you were unable to find anything using the search, continue using your preferred antivirus. If for some reason you do not want to install anti-virus on your computer, use free utilities for a single scan, for example, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool or "Dr.Web CureIt!", Which do not require installation. You can find them on developer sites. After removing the virus, you can begin to clean the hosts file.

To open the hosts file in the Windows XP operating system, open "My Computer" and enter the path in the address field:% SYSTEMROOT% system32driversetchostsPress Enter. In the window that appears, select the text editor Notepad.

On Windows 7 or Vista, you have to go the other way. Open the Accessories category in the All Programs list of the Start menu. Find the Notepad program. Right-click on its icon and run as administrator, otherwise the system will not allow saving changes. In the text editor that opens, click "Open" in the "File" menu. In the window that appears, switch the display of "Text Documents (* .txt)" to "All Files". Once click on the address field, copy the path into it:% SYSTEMROOT% system32driversetc and press Enter. In the folder that opens, select the hosts file and double-click on it with the left mouse button.

The contents of the hosts file are displayed on the screen. Erase all lines containing the addresses vkontakte.ru, vk.ru, my.mail.ru, odnoklassniki.ru, etc. The virus replaces the addresses of not only the VKontakte site, but also of many other social networks. If you have never opened the hosts file before, just delete everything except the line containing localhost. Save the changes using the “File” menu and the “Save” item. Access to the VKontakte social network will be restored.

note

The administration of the social network "VKontakte", under no pretext, does not block access to the users page demanding to send SMS. Only scammers do this. Do not send SMS to the specified number, its cost can be 300-500 rubles, but even if you send it, access to the page will not be restored to you.

A virus called “VKontakte” attacks the hosts system file, which stores information about the sites visited, and blocks the user's access to the social network. To unlock access to the site, you must remove all the virus executable files from the computer and edit the hosts.

Instruction manual

Locate the virus executable files. In Windows XP, open My Computer and select Search. Click the “Files and folders” button on the left side of the screen. Type in the appropriate field the words vkontakte or vkontakte.exe. Configure the search to additionally scan subfolders, system folders, and hidden folders. In older versions of Windows, just press the Win + S key combination and search in the specified pattern.

Delete all files of the form vkontakte.exe or vk.exe that are found. Please note that the VKontakte virus may also have a different name for disguise. Try scanning your computer with one of the antiviruses, for example, Kaspersky or Dr.Web. Also press the Win + R key combination and enter the msconfig command. Check the startup menu and remove from it all suspicious applications that do not match the programs you previously installed.

Proceed with cleaning the hosts file. In Windows XP, go to "My Computer" and in the address field, enter the path:% SYSTEMROOT% system32driversetchosts. Open the file using the Notepad text editor. To find it on Windows Vista or Windows 7, use the% SYSTEMROOT% system32driversetc directory.

Examine the data contained in the hosts file. Delete all lines with the address vk.ru, vkontakte.ru, odnoklassniki.ru, my.mail.ru, etc., since the virus can replace addresses of various social networks. To simplify the procedure, you can immediately delete all lines, with the exception of localhost. Save the changes and close the file. After that, access to your page on the VKontakte social network will be restored.

Contact the VKontakte administration by e-mail or phone indicated on the main page. Perhaps access to your page was deliberately suspended due to hacking by cybercriminals. In this case, the administration will help you create a new login and password to enter.

Periodically, users of the VKontakte social network encounter the fact that when you log into your account, a message appears informing you that the page has been blocked asking you to send an SMS message to a short number. This is a manifestation of a virus that can be removed in one of several ways.

And also deal with troubleshooting measures. Our current problem is observed very often around the world. And many users start to panic right there. Do not do this. It is better to find the cause of this "behavior" and eliminate it. How exactly? Let's figure it out.

Engineering works

The first option of why VKontakte lags is to conduct updates or technical work on the main server of the social network. Typically, such procedures are warned in the news. True, sometimes everything is done as a “surprise."

Do not panic and rush to register a new profile. Wait a while. After all the checks and updates are completed, the social network will work again in full force. Nothing depends on you here.

In general, if technical work is carried out, then the lags can be observed for about an hour or two. After this period of time, as a rule, they try to return the social network to working condition. After all, it has occupied an important role in the life of modern man. But why does VKontakte lag without technical work? Let's figure it out.

Browser

Another fairly common cause of social network crashes is your browser. More precisely, its failures. It is they who leave their mark on the functioning of open web pages. What to do if "VKontakte" lags because of the browser? Let's figure it out.

And the answer here is extremely simple. All that is required of you is reinstalling the program or replacing it with another application for working with web pages. After you do this, you can run the program and look at the result. As a rule, everything should work. The only exception is the case of the "Internet Explorer". After all, it’s no secret that this browser itself lags. And no reinstallation will help here. Only a complete replacement of the application with another with the absolute removal of the old version.

But why is VKontakte still lagging? In addition to the reasons already listed, there are also a number of very interesting points that are worth paying attention to. And now we will study them.

Computer space

Very often, many users wonder why VKontakte music and the social network as a whole are lagging. In addition, in parallel there are problems with watching videos on any web pages. What is the matter here? Everything is very simple, only users can not attach importance to this item.

And this is a banal shortage of free space in the system partition of the hard drive. In order to restore the functionality of your computer and browser, as well as all web pages, it is enough to format the disk with the removal of various kinds of documents. Typically, for this venture, they simply clean the system registry with CCleaner. She will correct the situation in a few clicks (and seconds). True, there is another point that has not yet been taken into account. And now it's time to study it.

Viruses

Why does VKontakte lag? The reason for this can be the most common computer viruses. By the way, this moment is very common among users. But what to do in this situation?

All that is required of you is to cure the operating system using the most common antivirus. The built-in deep scan feature will help you. Run it, wait for a while, and then heal. That which did not succumb to treatment - delete at all. For these manipulations, after the scan is completed, you will have two separate buttons.

When you complete the steps above, just restart your computer. And look at the result. Usually everything goes away, and no longer have to think about why VKontakte lags.
