Sometimes VKontakte users face such a problem as a blocked account. No need to be very upset and panic, but just follow our tips on how to unlock "Contact". There are several options for action, and they depend on why the site does not give you access to its page.
How to unlock "Contact": the reason is a virus
The first way to find out why your site is not working is to try accessing the page from another device: phone, friend's computer, tablet, and so on. If you freely access your page from these devices, then your computer has picked up a virus and needs to be urgently reanimated. To do this, find the "C: WINDOWSsystem32driversetc" folder and find the "hosts" folder. Find the line "127.00.1 localhost" and delete everything after it. Remember to save all changes, and then close all folders and windows and restart your computer. Check it for viruses with your antivirus.
How to unlock "Contact": why am Igot a virus?
As we already mentioned, the previous blocking of the entrance to VKontakte was due to the fact that you caught a virus. Where they are caught and how to protect yourself from this, now we will write. No need to go to porn sites, download dubious programs that promise you free voices and other freebies. Remember the free cheese in mousetraps. When you download a program from a dubious manufacturer or with spyware to your device, this is a 99% guarantee that a virus will settle on your computer, which will one day make itself felt. The same goes for adult entertainment sites. Often they contain such viruses that completely block not only the page, but the entire computer, requiring you to send SMS to some number, after which a decent amount of money is withdrawn from you. But the problem is that the miracle does not happen, and the window with extortion continues to hang, even after several SMS. In this case, you can unlock the page in "Contact" or the entire computer only with the help of a specialist.
How to unblock "Contact": the reason is incomprehensible activity on your page
This message can be received by every user of the site at least once in his life. The VKontakte system may not like something: you were too active today, sent out a lot of invitations, you were constantly visited by captcha, you wrote many messages containing the same text. So you are a spammer, VKontakte determines. The next day, you may no longer enter your page, and the system willwill write that there was suspicious activity on your page. Thus, VKontakte blocks those who want to conduct their business for free on its site and, of course, fight real spammers. In this case, you are given the opportunity to open the page by entering your phone number. It will receive an SMS with a code that will return access to your page, but only if you have previously linked this number to your account. Otherwise, you will have to write to the support service and sort things out with them. Sometimes this does not end with success, so link a phone number to your page and the question of how to unblock "Contact" will be solved with one click of your fingers, as they say. Next, we will talk about the most unpleasant reason to block your page.
How to unlock "Contact": page hacking
There's another reason why you can't get to the site, and it's the most annoying one, because you've been the victim of intruders. Your page can simply be hacked. This happens after you follow a dubious link that was sent to you, or you saw it yourself and decided to go look. Our advice is to not do this. You will not even notice how a certain virus will begin to collect information about your data and will be able to guess the password to enter all your accounts. Medicines for this:
- Create a very complex password to enter VKontakte.
- Don't follow links, evenif your best friend just sent them to you. Ask him again: “Did you send me this now?”.
- Do not store your passwords on your computer, they can be spied on by an evil virus.
- Use a separate email address to register your account so that if it is hacked, attackers cannot get into your accounts.
Today we looked at ways to unblock a page in the "Contact" and / or not get into this unpleasant situation. Be careful and remember that on the Internet, as in real life, there are also villains. A good antivirus will make life easier, but the main decision is still up to you.
