    Hello Vitrag,

    It seems you have been affected by that issue:

    Security issue

    Please try to follow staff advice. Try to look through your plugins for a base64_decode.

    Mean? I installed / updated vbseo in early 2010 mostly.

    And this problem usually from search engine results not if we enter URL directly.

    A new version of vBSEO 3.5.2 was released Friday that patches some potential security holes, you should make sure you have updated to this version.

    The link Chuta supplied will give you more information about the exploit you have been hit with and there is many bits of advice in that thread as to what to do to make sure it doesn't happen again, 1# upgrade to latest version of vBSEO and stay up to date.

    so just updating to latest will do or I'll have to do anything else after?

    How much time it'll take to direct my site properly from google after I update to vbseo?

    Once you've updated your vBSEO instance, the redirection will disappear. Also please read this thread for security tips you may apply to secure (or assure, I don't know which I should use ) your forum:

    Additionally that redirection issue is 99% not related to vBSEO as boards that don't have vBSEO are effected from same issue.

    Then what problem?

    Well, updated vbseo & it seems fine now, so seems to be vbseo issue only.

    Anyways, can u confirm if it's fine or u can still get such redirection from search engine?

    Thx.

    Writable files and directories are the culprit. Make sure everything is locked down.

    There are another forums that have reported same issue without having vBSEO installed. So another plugins could be also culprit.

    Thx for confirming, actually since feb 2010 my site has decreasing (>50%)search engine traffic specifically & I wasn't getting any reason for it, accidently came across it last week. I don't know when this hack initiated on my URL.

    Will i regain my traffic again like before feb 2010? How much time it'll take?

    Thx for help.

    There's no way to tell.... it's entirely up to google.
