Everytime I type complete address blockchain.info, my browser redirecting to blloclkclhain.info that I thought it was a phising site. it is not happen when I type and open  blockchain with google. I have scanned my PC and no virus found.  Undecided

Maybe post about it in the scam section as well so people will know about it.

check if you have installed any(unknown) extension in chrome. best way to be safe is to wipe your hard drive and reinstalled your os.

i think the best and easiest way is to use an antivirus with a decent firewall and block the address in the AV
i have Eset Smart security and i am satisfied with its firewall and other aspects. plus it does requires so small amounts of system resources.

first thing, is you have to clear all your cache and cookies. if neccessary you can clear your browsing history
if still redirecting to that site, try to install ccleaner if you are using windows. and checklist all about your browser.
and most important is do not enter that website again

Is your DNS is hacked? Do you get the same results with another webbrowser?   It sounds like you have spyware on your machine.


No. It happens only in chrome. Maybe I need to uninstall and delete it, then download new chrome.
I also had a kind nd of virus, when i clicked on a link, it redirected me to a page. Not the same as urs, but it is almost the same thing. Reinstall browser worked and run a virus scan.



Most important thing is to run the virus and malware scan.  If you have wallets on computer I would consider them possibly compromised.  I would create a cold storage with a computer not compromised.

With that your cold storage should be safe.  And you don't have to worry about losing coins.   And turn on 2 factor if you do use blockchain as a hot wallet.

I would suggest take back up of your important stuff and do a clean sweep and re-install whatever OS you're using. And as far as this goes:

You need to run some of the anti-virus and malware programs.   Chrome should not be doing this.  I give it a good chance of malware being on computer.

I would be careful with wallets, etc. That you access of that computer.

Protect your coins! That is not your computer anymore.  Sad
It may be time to consider upgrading to Linux.

run malwarebyte and hitman pro, if you found nothing it may be good to run combofix, or do a format c all together

usually i don't waste time to search what is the cause, i run a secure erase asap

If not these, try TrendMicro Housecall Smiley

I suggest you to stop doing anything on that machine. Download some virus scan boot disk like Dr.Web and do you a complete scan. You can block that website from host file but that won't do much if you have any malware/rootkit running in background.
