Turkish web page opens when clicking on the Britmodeller home page

[GiampieroSilvestri]

I clicked on the Britmodeller home page button but a Turkish web page with the name Ersoylartesisat.com opened.I tried again and the page opened normally.Does anyone else have this?

 

Thank you very much

Sounds like malware on your PC, or in a browser extension

 

Cheers

Just tested it myself, and it leads me where it's supposed to - Britmodeller.  As @ckw said, it sounds like a browser hijack, so look up how to deal with that on t'internet and wish you good luck with dealing with it.  Sometimes you have to use a tool of some sort, or uninstall your browser, so once you've got it sorted, it would be helpful if you could report back with hints & tips for the masses, myself included

Now it opens normally.The Turkish page seams to be nothing unappropiate.A google search showed that it is the web page of a Handwerker (sorry but I do not know the english word) in Istanbul but I certainly will not open it.

Yesterday the problem with the page of the Turkish plumber came back one time and also just now.

This is the page that opens sometimes when opening the Britmodeller home page.

Insert obligatory remark about running unsupported operating systems - Windows 7?

I use SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and get no problems, might be worth a try for you ?

A better bet to deal with that specific problem would be Malwarebytes.  Download/install the free version, run it and see what it finds.  As a recently retired IT specialist I can say it's the best I've ever found at dealing with all types of malware and was my go-to solution for years without a problem or finding something it couldn't beat.

Does that Turkish plumber make house calls? 🤿

I recommend to delete your Britmodeller shortcut from your browser. Then run 'clear history' (Chronik löschen) of your browser. Then follow this path on Windows: Programs - Accessories (Zubehör) - System Programs (Systemprogramme) - File cleaning (Datenträgerbereinigung), run this for all volumes (Datenträger). Then create a new shortcut for the Britmodeller website. Should be resolved now.
