Have you been registered on the popular social network VKontakte for a long time or have you just recently registered? In fact, this does not matter, because absolutely any user can encounter a problem on VKontakte. Moreover, solving this problem can be quite difficult, since the reason why it is impossible to get to your page can be not only a forgotten password.
Who is guilty?
The main reasons why VKontakte does not open are the actions of attackers. The Windows operating system has a special software. Fraudsters create various viruses and so-called ones that, attacking your computer, change the component of the mentioned file by writing other command lines.
As a result, an unsuspecting user tries, as usual, to access his page and sees the VKontakte splash screen asking him to repeat the login and password. The fact is that the site you get to when you change the program file is not real. It's just very similar to the original, but if you look closely you can see the difference.
However, few social network users, faced with such a problem, will immediately think about a “criminal” substitution. The most unpleasant thing is that all the actions of the attackers lead to the fact that you are asked to send a supposedly free SMS to a short number in order to make sure that you are still a person and not some kind of bot. And then the following happens: you send an SMS, money for sending is taken from you, but you cannot enter the site. Plus, on top of everything, the scammers also get the login and password for your page. Situation...
Naturally, the user is perplexed why the VKontakte page does not open even after sending an SMS. Don't wait, it won't open anyway. You have fallen for scammers. Now let's take a closer look at what needs to be done to avoid such unpleasant situations.
How to fix errors
The very first thing you need to remember is that the social network is absolutely free, the site administration does not require any money during registration, and even more so will not require paid confirmation in order to recover the password. But if you are faced with a situation where VKontakte does not open, what to do, we will tell you.
You should find host. It is usually located in the program files folder. To find it, you can try following the following path: WINDOWShosts (for Windows 95/98/ME), WINNTsystem32driversetchosts (for Windows NT/2000), WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts (Windows XP/2003/Vista).
The next step will be to delete absolutely all lines that contain the following words: vkontakte.ru/, and the beginning of the entry can be anything, from your IP number to ordinary numbers. After you have cleaned the file, be sure to save the changes you made to it and restart your computer.
Using an antivirus
You can go the other way when VKontakte does not open. If you don't have an antivirus program installed on your computer, be sure to fix this error. You can also download an antivirus program using the Internet (for example, Dr.Web). You can download it in both free and paid versions. To quickly cure your computer from malicious utilities, it is better to use the free method and download the healing program as quickly as possible.
Have you downloaded it? Great! Run a virus scan. The program will detect malicious virus software and quarantine it. After the antivirus has finished running, the computer also needs to be restarted. Now you can try to access the VKontakte website again.
What to do if cleaning the host and antivirus did not help?
It also happens that neither cleaning a program file nor using an antivirus will get rid of the problem in question. In this case, you will have to try the following options.
It is possible that your computer has picked up the svcnost.exe virus. To get rid of it, you will again have to look for the file in the "Documents and" folders. Try using the search to detect malware. Be sure to check the box for
But if the computer does not detect it, try to find it manually. Viruses are sometimes distinguished by very good secrecy, along with keyboard keyloggers (spyware).
The most important thing is to remember that you need to look in the Windows folder. When you find it, delete it immediately, only then be sure to check whether you managed to get rid of it completely. There should be no "Autorun" command left on the command line for this file.
After the final removal, reboot the computer again and try to log into your favorite social network. What, VKontakte still won’t open? Go ahead.
Another virus?
If you haven’t found the virus you are looking for or, conversely, have found it and restarted your computer, but VKontakte still doesn’t open, don’t panic. This means you need to look for another virus called “vkontakte.exe” or “vk.exe”. We will identify it through the "Task Manager".
First, open the “Dispatcher” menu and look at all the processes currently running. We are looking for those that have the name we need. Found it? This means that there is a virus on your computer that does not allow you to access the social network.
What to do if your PC is infected with vkontakte.exe or vk.exe?
Destroy! First you have to find files with this extension. Open “Start”, then “Search”, enter the extensions you are looking for in the search bar, not forgetting to note that you should search for everything and folders.
When the files are found, again, delete them and restart the computer again. And again we try to go to our page.
When the question of why VKontakte does not open has been resolved, be sure to change the password for your page, and even better, for your mailbox. And in the future, to avoid problems like: “I want to go to the VKontakte website, my page does not open!” - be sure to use anti-virus programs.
All malware and Trojans, as a rule, attack a computer that does not have any antivirus software. Therefore, update your installed anti-virus programs on time and do not visit suspicious sites, about which the same anti-virus will definitely warn you. Always check unknown files and programs for viruses before installing them on your computer.

If you still don’t understand how to open an account online, then watch the video:
It often happens that the browser cannot open some specific site, which was previously available for viewing. At the same time, it opens pages of other sites perfectly and the user does not experience any difficulties - everything is normal. It would seem that the server simply does not work - the site has been disabled. But bad luck, if suddenly you access the same site, for example from a mobile device via Opera Mobile and the site opens perfectly in it.
If the described situation is familiar to you, then I will try to answer the question: why a particular site is not accessible from your computer.
Here, for example, is the standard error that appears in the browser Google Chrome: « Sorry, Google Chrome can't open the page blah blah blah…«:
First of all, if you encounter a similar problem, you do not need to immediately follow the advice to clear the cache and delete cookies, because if you do this, you will have to re-enter the password in Odnoklassniki, remember password In contact with🙁 First, try accessing the page from other browsers, such as Firefox, I.E., Opera. If the response to the site is the same in all browsers, then try the following: go to Opera, click on the button of the same name in the upper left corner and select “Compression mode”.
This function was previously called Opera Turbo. An important feature of this mode for us is that the site opens through proxy server, that is proxy server between you and the requested site. If, when you try to open the site in this mode, the same thing happens - the page does not open, then the site is really faulty or not maintained. It is quite possible that it will be turned on after some time.
But if the site does open, then we will try to narrow down the circle of “suspects.” I’ll say right away: if you cannot access Microsoft antivirus sites, then this is 200% a virus that blocks access. Here, from personal experience, I will say that only reinstalling the system will help.
Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and find the file there hosts. Open it with a regular notepad and check if there are any entries regarding your site in the following format:
Such entries block access to the site and are caused by spyware and viruses. Just shorten the lines regarding your site, save the file to your Desktop (be sure to select the “All files *.*” file type when saving) and copy it back to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc. Restart your computer and enjoy life.
If no suspicious entries were found in the specified file, then we are dealing with a completely different reason - BANOM Your his external IP address(or range of addresses) website hosting. This is not your fault; it happens that the hosting blocks the addresses from which attempts were made hacking, DDOS attacks. Just wait until the IP is unbanned - it will take about a week.
There may also be a simple routing error. A similar problem is solved within a day or two.
Hello dear users. If you are reading this article, it means my site is functioning normally and opens without problems. The same cannot be said about VK, because sometimes it is not possible to access it, photos and messages do not open. What to do in this case?
If the VKontakte site does not open, then you should use the following recommendations.
https://vk.comAnd we get an error message.
There can be two options here - either the Internet does not work, or there is a technical problem on the contact side.
To determine the reason, just try opening any other website. If it works, then we wait until VK technical support fixes the problems.
If not, then here you should check and revive your Internet connection.
Viruses and problems with the hosts file
Once again I remind you - you should not visit dubious sites, download and run suspicious files. There is an extremely high probability that your computer will get a virus (see). And you will begin to see interruptions in its operation. This may also affect the fact that sites on the network will no longer open and function. Including the VKontakte website.
If trouble has already happened, here's what you should do. First, check your system hosts file. You will find it here:
%system-disk%:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Open it with a notepad and make sure there are no extraneous entries. Below I will give you a standard version of the hosts file. You can just copy it.
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost
If these manipulations do not help open the social networking site, you should conduct a full scan of your PC for threats.
You will find all the necessary information regarding scanning and editing the hosts file in the manual -.
Programs block access
You should check to see if there are any programs or applications installed that may block access to the VK site. This could be an antivirus utility - in this case, just add the appropriate exception to its settings.
Or the application through which you access the social network blocks its operation through the browser. You can simply delete it, or try playing with the settings.
VKontakte messages and photos do not open
The last thing I would like to talk about.
Such a nuisance happens when you try to open a correspondence.
The same thing happens when you try to open a photo (see. ). Quite unpleasant.
But there is also good news. You don't need to do anything. Just wait a couple of minutes. Such errors appear extremely rarely, and are corrected very quickly. In my memory, the longest wait was about 15 minutes.
That's all. After this, all functions begin to work normally again.
Conclusion
Thus, all problems with the accessibility of the VKontakte website can be divided into two large groups - security problems and technical problems. The first category is entirely your responsibility. Make sure you have an antivirus utility installed on your computer. Do not visit suspicious resources, and even more so, do not download files from them.
