Http://media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver/banner?place=17006 my computer goes here on its own?

Question

When I went to Gaia Online my computer directed me to this website within minutes? I don't know whats wrong!

Answer 1

Ok everyone my cuz helped me fix it.

What you want to do is go into your tools. Go down and click manage Add on's and clikck enadle or disable.



Second: Disable all your add on's then re-open internet explorer. than check you gaia. after you check your gaia you can go back in and enable any add on's then check your gaia again and see if its still working right.



Hope this helps all of you. if you need to ask about what i wrote you can email me.

Answer 2

Gosh I Thought I Was The Only One Getting This,Now I See How Many People Have This Common Problem I'll Continue Asking About It I Try To Stay On Gaia I Can Log In , I Can't Dress Avatar Another Iteam Or Such Though I Can't Reply & Well You Know It Doesn't Keep You Online Enough To Do Or Finish What You've Been Doing Or Wanted To Do



Anyone Who Has The Answer Post It Where You Think Gaia People Would Be ?

Answer 3

Okay, I have this same problem and am NOT happy, like the rest of you. Dx I will try the whole removing all add-on's and then re-adding them. But otherwise I have figured out two other ways around it, and they are not fun. o.o



First is to click that big red X and Stop loading the page, right before it starts to redirect you. I have done this by rapidly clicking it once the red X SEEMS to go away, but it comes right back.



But the best thing I have discovered, either open a tab (I am talking firefox now) and let the gaia page you are on load for 10-20 seconds while you are off on a different tab, probably on a different website. When you go back, amusingly enough, you won't get directed! You could also just open EVERY thing you click on gaia in a new tab (right click every link, this is pretty much everything for navigating gaia. XD ) And after you give it a bit to load, close the old tabs. Spend your time waiting in a different tab basically, no matter what.

Its just a PAIN!! XD



My biggest observation: for me, it only seems to redirect if it is loading and I am actually on that page. If it loads and finishes fully while I am in another tab. This is odd. I have no idea what that could mean, but thats a piece of info no one else seems to have noted. So hopefully it helps. ^_^

Answer 4

I've had the same problem for the past 3 days. I've run Norton 2010 twice & newest version of Yahoo anti spy twice but still get redirected to a Gateway search page. And it only happens on Gaia. I can get to Gaia without problem when I use Firefox instead of IE.

Answer 5

I'm having the same problem as everyone else on Gaia. Like everyone else, I've ran virus scans and everything, and nothing has come up. It seems very likely that it's Gaia's problem and not ours. I think the best we can do is report it to Gaia and see what they can come up with.



I hope it's fixed soon! I want to get on my Gaia!

Answer 6

I know I can temporarily stop it by stopping loading the page but other than that I can't do much cause after that I just get booted off for a minute I can probably send in a complaint i can get onto gaia with the main computer just not my laptop.... I wonder why

Answer 7

Thank you for posting this. It's happening to me too. I think it's gaia's site. It's only their site that it's happening to me on. I even did the virus check thing and everything was fine. I'm pretty sure it is gaia so hopefully they will have it fixed soon. If it was just a virus thing, I don't think it would be happening to this many people when they tried to log in.



I tried to get in to report it, but it won't keep me in gaia long enough. >.<

Answer 8

Mine's doing the same thing. It goes to Gaia's homepage for like 3 seconds then redirects me. Ugh.

Answer 9

That happened to me too D:< Well Rest assured, it's not malwear. it's just the computer's way of saying it can't find the site. I can log in to Gaia and everything, but it only redirects me when I try to get my daily chance. I think the best thing to do is report our problem to some NPC... And forfeit some daily chances ;3

Answer 10

Okay I fixed it on my computer. Open up (or try to open) excite, Gaia or whatever site you're being redirected from. Now go to the top of the page and click on "Tools". Scroll down to "Manage Add-ons" and click on it. You now have a list of all your add-ons. Click on each one and go to the bottom right and click on "Disable". Disable every one of your add-ons. Close it and reopen the site . It now should stay open. Now slowly start enabling each item that looks trustworthy. One at a time and close, open your site and see if it stays. Slow process but continue doing this until you find the culprit an leave it disabled. Understand?

Answer 11

Your can't find safe high scanner in the website so it will think it a virus of something. The only think to do is to go to your TOOLS section at the top right corner of the Internet Exploder. Then scroll down until you find the INTERNET OPTIONS. Go to Security and click it. Next go to the Trusted Sites and click it. Next click the SITES button and disable the "Require server verification (:http//) for all sites zone. Finally you put www.gaiaonline.com and enjoy your time in GAIA.

Answer 12

It happens to me as well, I have a feeling it's a problem with Gaia itself. I've run multiple virus scans today, and removed all the harmful things on the very first one. All the others have come out clean.

Answer 13

I seem to be having this issue as well,

but the computers at school seem to be working fine, so i am going to try to go to the library at our school (which also happens to be a public library) and use a computer there.

I just wish to know whats causing this.

Add me when you can on gaia, username is: Remedy Forgotten

Answer 14

It's happening to me too!!!

I am super pissed and I NEED to get on gaia, it's the only website I acually go on....

-.-"

We all need to report this to gaia somehow

I bet if they notice how many people are dealing with this they will fix it.

If any of you find a solution to this stupid mess e-mail me or add me on gaia

E-Mail: [e-mail]

Answer 15

From all the other answers, looks like other people are having the same problem too.

It might be the beta thing that they're doing for the site, that one that you can do all these new features with. It's probably a problem occuring or something, like the S.I.N. vs B.O.O. glitch with the scores. Hopefully the moderators and admins are trying to figure out the problem and fix it, and soon.

Answer 16

I have the same problem

What's weird I was able to go to my pro(must have to clck it fast)

Probably cause it has media stuff in it?

Answer 20

We can all go into one of the yahoo game rooms that have a chatroom at the bottom of the screen. We could go pick a room out of Pyramids, JT Blocks or Mahjong Solitaire. Lets say we all want to go into JT Blocks and meet in the Block Ness Monster Room. Go in there first and check it out and see which ID, name of yours shows up on the side colume of all the player in there. Then start emailing or IMing each other and met in there every day or night, which ever you prefer. You might want to check out another room or five or six or a different game. We can chat our hearts out in there and all at one time. You can get about 80 people in one room !!!!! We can play the game as we chat too !!! See what you all think and I hope you include me too !!!!! lol

Answer 24

I'm fighting the same thing right now on my brother's computer. He said he downloaded something called fastsearch on facebook and now he's redirected to search for this site on facebook too. So yea, maybe it has something to do with their beta connection?

Answer 25

I don't think it's a virus or any malware the same thing keeps happening to me on that site. ONLY that site and a few other members have complained as well. I think it's best we report it within the site.

Answer 26

(Terry S). I can't find the tools on gaia, Do you mean like in the Account Peferences. Like where you change your name and stuff. And I looked everwhere for tools but it goes her in like 10 seconds.



You can add me on yahoo for IM so it will be easyer. [e-mail]

Answer 29

This happened to me too just a couple of minutes ago, but my computer couldn't get there, so it just looked like I had searched it. I tried 'InPrivate Browsing' and for once it didn't try to direct me there.

Answer 30

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one having this problem, but the worst thing is I can't even get on to alert the admins about it!...I started a discussion on their facebook page but I'm not sure who MODs that site...

Answer 31

i think it has something to do with that new beta link toolbar they were making. it seems that whenever i hover my cursor over the link bar. i get directed to that wierd link.



((the link/toolbar im talking about is the thing that says "my gaia,shops, world, etc." ))

Answer 32

I really don't believe that its a virus or anything like that -____-

I scanned my computer twice and nothing was wrong.

I guess its just the webstie gaiaonline thats doing that :/

I just log in then in like 10 sec it takes me there!

So pissed off right now D:<

Answer 33

I'm having this same problem on two other computers as well. Could it have to do with the Betas that they're testing?

Answer 34

It happened to me on my laptop, but then I switched to my desktop and it worked. So later I tried my laptop again, and still happened. I don't know whats wrong!

This has happened to me a few times in the past, but I just had to wait a while and it was fine. :(
