Blogger Hacked and Redirected to Deplayer.net Here is How To Fix It
If you use Blogger (blogspot) and installed a Visitor Counter plugin you may have gotten an unexpected redirect to a scam website today 3/5/10. That’s what happened to me on my blog Joe-Cannon.blogspot.com
Every time I logged on to the blog I was taken to the site “deplayer.net” . Every page I tried to access took me instead to that site. When I tried to remove the visitor counter, it wouldn’t let me. After some digging I discovered “The Real Blogger Status website which gave me hints on how I could remove the program.
This is what I did
1. Use Internet Explorer (firefox might work too but I used IE). Go to Tools and then Click on Internet. Set security level to High or medium high (if medium doesn't work use High)
3. Go to your blog. It may not load because the security is set to high. That’s ok . now from Blogger go to you Layout. Look for the Visitor counter and click remove. That should take care of it. Hit refresh and the visitor counter should be removed and your blog should work it did for me
Deplayer.net took several weeks to do its dirty work so I suggest you do not use the visitor counter from the Blogspot website. Instead use Google Analytics or another program called Statcunter which I have also used and is good.
