VKontakte error: web page is unavailable
Recently, many VKontakte users have been complaining that they cannot log into the social network due to access problems.
This usually happens like this: the user is “on VKontakte” from the browser and after some time accesses the social network. the network is lost.
The browser says the web page is unavailable
. However, other tabs work normally:
It's all about a virus that made changes to the “hosts” file.
But solving the access problem is very simple, just follow a couple of simple steps (If The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later., then refresh the VKontakte page a little later): 1. First of all, go to “My Computer”, open the “Local Disk” (mostly C), find the “Windows” folder, then “System 32”, then “drivers”, then “etc”.
2. Next, in the “etc” folder, find a file called “hosts”, right-click on it and delete it:
3. Now restart the computer.
Problem solved!
After restarting the computer, go to the browser and continue to quietly spend time on VKontakte.
This only means that you should immediately clean your system with a good antivirus program. Fortunately, today you can download a good antivirus absolutely free
(eg Avast).
To prevent such problems from arising in the future, it is necessary to properly protect the VKontakte page.

Vkontakte.ru is unavailable
This article tells you what to do if the Vkontakte.ru website or some of its pages, such as vkontakte.ru/login.php .
If you don't find the information you need, ask for help in the comments. We will help as much as we can! The article is updated when new information appears.
The page vkontakte.ru/login.php is unavailable or it is suggested to send SMS
If you cannot access the vkontakte.ru/login.php page or other pages of the vkontakte.ru (do not confuse it with account hacking), or they offer to send an SMS to some number, do the following:
- Find the file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Remove it mercilessly!
- If it cannot be removed, download a small program called “KillBox” and remove it using it.
- Restart your computer (not always required) and try going to vkontakte.ru
If deleting the hosts file does not bring results:
- We completely delete the folder in which it is located - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\, nothing bad will happen
- Reboot the computer
- Let's try to log in again.
And it didn't help? Then we go using the anonymizer - https://fafka.ru/dostup/ . The limitation of this method is (some technical terms will now follow) that it is impossible to execute JavaScript, and therefore messages and comments on VKontakte will not be sent for now (perhaps this will be fixed in the future).
If you can’t log in through the anonymizer, then you should think about the fact that the account could simply be hacked.
The contact writes: This email address is not registered, or the password is incorrect.
Recently I received a letter from Vkontakte.ru with the following content:
from your page on the VKontakte.ru . To prevent this from happening again, the password was automatically changed.
Your new password: ************ You can change it in your settings.
We strongly recommend:
- don't use a simple password
- do not enter it anywhere except the login page to the VKontakte.ru website
- do not open links whose contents you are not sure of
- do not download programs whose purpose you are not sure of
- even if the link allegedly came to you from a friend - by personal message or through an invitation to a group
In addition, we remind you that VKontakte has always been and remains a free site that does not require any account activation via SMS.
If, when trying to log into VKontakte, you see a requirement to send an SMS, ignore it, and instead open the file, usually located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, and delete from it all lines mentioning vkontakte.ru , as well as other lines with the same IP address at the beginning, which block your access to popular sites. (You must be a computer administrator to do this.)
After this, if possible:
- delete the file vkontakte.exe or vk.exe
- update your antivirus and run a virus scan on your computer
You can also send a complaint to the aggregator responsible for the short number mentioned in the fraudulent text against the attacker with a request to punish him.
Just like that. So check your email.
And if you have lost your mailbox, you can probably forget about your account if the contact’s support service does not respond to your requests.
VKontakte was hacked / Vkontakte.ru
If you enter your password to get into contact on the page https://vkontakte.ru/login.php, and it says “incorrect,” but you have already checked it 1000 times. This means that it was simply hacked and replaced with something else.
This is done in order to send all kinds of spam on your behalf (advertising, offers to buy something, top up your account, and so on...).
- To get your account back, you need to:
- Go to the page https://vkontakte.ru/login.php?op=forgot. If it is not available, then read above “The page vkontakte.ru/login.php is not available”
- In the “Email” field, enter the email address that you used to enter your page
- Click the “Send password” button
- Check mail
- Log in to your Vkontakte page using the sent password and change it beyond recognition. The new password must contain both letters and numbers mixed.
But as practice shows, this does not help very often. We can only hope for the same technical support
