What's Going on with Digital Point Forums?

    Whenever I try to visit the forums directly using forums.digitalpoint.com, I get a blank page with the address "ecorps.com".

    Has DP been bought or hacked?

    I can still get in the forum by clicking on DP from a Google results page.

    your browser settings have been hacked. there is not too much you can do, have to use some kind of tool.
    panda antivirus helps to get your internet settings back, it works sometimes, you can try that! you will get a 30 day trial for free, install it use it, scan it.
    after 30 days, uninstall it and reinstall it, and another 30 more day!

    but then if it works, prefer to buy it! cheers:D

    I'm not infected with anything and I was typing in the address correctly.

    I cleared my cookies and cache and it works now. I guess I'll never know what caused the problem.

    If I were infected with something, don't you think I would be experiencing similar problems with other websites? DP was the only site that had the problem.

    try hijackthis, it will show you what's wrong and help you fix it if you have any computer knowledge at all.... not recommended for anyone who only knows how to turn it on!
