In the mobile application on your phone
Usually this problem occurs when logging into the VK mobile application - for example, on an iPhone. To find out why this error occurs, try logging into VK not through the application (it does not provide enough information about the error), but through the full or mobile version of the VKontakte website - there you will receive a more detailed message.
It may turn out that the password is incorrect or the page is blocked (frozen). In this case, you will have to restore access (reset your password) or, accordingly, unfreeze the page. And this is also better done through the full version. Here are the instructions for each case:
If you have a server error when registering, most likely VK wants to inform you that the phone number is already in use or blocked. You won’t understand what exactly is the reason until you try to register through the full version.
And one more possible reason - if you restored access to the page, they sent you a login and password, you try to log in and a server error appears, then make sure that you carefully read the SMS that was sent to you. Maybe you didn't fulfill one important condition. This instruction will help you:
What to do if the password is correct, but there is still a “Server error”?
In this case, if the application is not updated to the latest version, you need to update it. If it is already updated, completely remove it and install it again. Also check if the time and date on your phone are correct.
How to fix an error when loading VK data
The set of solutions to get rid of errors when loading data is quite universal, and consists approximately of the following:
- Check the accuracy of the time display on your gadget. Go to your phone's settings and make sure that the time zone, date and time are displayed correctly. If necessary, install current data;
- Clear the cache and data of the VKontakte mobile application. Go to your gadget settings and find “Application Manager”. In the list of applications, find the VK mobile application, tap on it, and by entering its settings, click on the “Erase data” and “Clear cache” buttons;
Clear cache and mobile VK data
Save the changes, launch your mobile VK and try to request the required picture (video) again;
Set DNS settings for Google public servers
- Use a VPN. For some users, only installing a VPN connection using special software (for example, Astrill VPN) helped them cope with the “Check your network connection” problem. After using one of these tools, the message “An error occurred while loading data” disappears;
- Reboot your router. In some cases, it was the unstable operation of the router that led to the problem in question;
- Contact VKontakte technical support. Ask if there are any problems with VK servers at the moment.
- Use alternative mobile solutions, in particular Kate Mobile.
Use Kate Mobile level alternatives
Server error on computer when logging in via browser
You should clear your browser cache and cookies (temporary files) according to these instructions. It also makes sense to update your browser if it is not up to date, or install another one and try logging in through it.
The correct time and date must be set on the computer.
Players of the Warface project may encounter a problem such as an authorization error. What causes this problem and why it occurs, no one knows for sure. The developers, unfortunately, hide all the details from the players. Perhaps somewhere in the depths of the Internet there is an answer. But from the name itself you can understand that the authorization error appears due to a problem with the authorization of the game account.
In fact, there is no need to find out the cause of the problems; there is simply no need to do so. The fact is that a solution has already been found, and not even one, but three at once. In the article we will consider them all. Let's start with the simplest and most easily accessible - checking and correcting the files of the installed game.
Find another video or reduce quality
One of the reasons is high load. There are many users, thousands of people watch the video, VKontakte servers simply can’t handle it and the video refuses to start. They are busiest in the late afternoon. But there are enough video files that are identical to each other and uploaded by different people, so in such a situation it is better to look for a similar video. Another option is to reduce the video quality to 360p/480p.
If this does not help, you should check the quality of the connection. Due to the low speed, the roller will slow down or not start at all. The solution is the same - reduce its quality to 360r. As a result, the video will load faster. If the Internet speed is low, the problem may be with the provider: in this case, you need to wait until the problem is resolved.
Method one: checking the game files
To check and correct files, you must first open the launcher. Those who play Warface know that the game center from Mail.ru acts as a launcher for their game.
So, the gaming center is before your eyes. Here's what you need to do:
- On the top panel of the window, go to the “My Games” tab.
- From all available ones, select the one you need - Warface. Click the “Go to game” button.
- After a short loading of the page, open which is located next to the “Play” button, it is indicated by a down arrow.
- From the list, click on the line “Check and fix the files of the installed game client.”
Now all you have to do is wait. If the Warface authorization error was due to problems with the client, then this method will help you. But of course, there is always the possibility that the problem is something else. That is why we will now move on to the second method.
Ways to delete subscribers in a contact without blacklisting them
Let's take a closer look at each of them.
- A not very effective and time-consuming method is to write a personal message asking them to unsubscribe from your page. This does not guarantee results, but its advantage is the social side. Among the disadvantages, the following can be noted - due to privacy settings, an undesirable person’s access to writing personal messages may be closed or this person’s profile may be deleted.
- An even less effective option is to post a message asking everyone to unfollow on your wall. The message can describe the reasons why you want subscribers to leave. But it is not a fact that everyone will see this recording, and if they do, few will satisfy this request.
- The most effective method, which does not involve the use of a blacklist, is to set the most stringent privacy settings in your account settings. This will prevent unwanted individuals from entering your profile, and will also limit free access to personal data. The disadvantage is that the list of signatories will not become smaller.
Only their creators can remove unwanted individuals from a public page or group. To do this, they should go to the “Page Management” menu and select “Participants”. In the menu that opens, select the desired character and click “Remove from community.”
Banning is a more effective and faster option. With its help, clearing the list of subscribed people is simple - find the unpleasant person in the desired item and click on the cross next to it.
Thus, an unnecessary person ends up in the blocked ones. If you remove it from there after two days, it will not be linked to your account in any way.
Today I would like to raise the following question: how to get out of the blacklist on the VKontakte social network? There are several ways to do this. It is worth dwelling on each of them to imagine the problem in more detail.
General overview
Before we begin a detailed consideration of the issue, it is worth understanding what actually happens to a blocked user. The fact that a person was banned is immediately clear. This becomes obvious when it is not possible to view information that is posted on another user’s page. Usually, only the avatar is available for viewing by people who are blacklisted. No personal information, just a message that access is blocked. No matter what attempts are made, it is impossible to open it. True, the social network VKontakte can be outsmarted.
Anonymizers
The first method that can be used is anonymizers. It’s worth taking a closer look at it to find out how to get out of the blacklist on VKontakte. These services are very easy to use. There are several options for using them. The first involves authorization. After the registration procedure is completed, you should log into your profile using the anonymizer.
The main thing is to find a suitable service. Instaway is very popular. You must enter a link to the VKontakte website and go through authorization. Thus, the user’s IP address will not be visible to the system, so you can visit the blocked page. This method only allows you to open access to personal information, but does not exclude you from the blacklist. Therefore, you will need to look for other methods.
From groups
First, you should figure out what ways there are to get out of a group’s blacklist. I would like to immediately note that getting a ban in the community is very rare. You need a good reason to be there. If this does happen, you need to find options on how to get out of it. All available methods do not provide a 100% guarantee, so you cannot always count on high efficiency.
It’s worth starting with the simplest option. First you need to create a link that looks like: https://vkontakte.ru/groups.php?act=unban&gid=XXXX&id=, where XXXX is the ID of the group in which the ban was received, and is the ID address. Then you need to send a message to the administration of the group with a specific calling. You need to get the user to follow the link. When the administrator performs this action, the unlocking occurs. It is worth immediately upsetting those who thought that everything was quite simple. It is not always the case that a person tries to follow the link provided. Sometimes it is very difficult to force him to take such a step. If the proposed option does not bring results, you should abandon this idea and use another method.
Users
This method, like others, is not 100% effective. But it's worth trying. It involves creating a new account. You can also involve a friend in the process by asking him for help. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps. This method is similar to the previous method. You will also need to create a special link and come up with ways for a specific user to click on it.
The link looks like this: https://vkontakte.ru/settings.php?act=delFromBlackList&id=XXXX. In it, XXXX is its own ID address. After completing all the steps, you need to come up with a pretext that will force the user to follow the link. You need to put in enough effort so that it doesn't look like spam. Credible messages will help with this. When you visit the owner of the blacklist, the page that opens when you click on the link is unblocked.
Negotiate on good terms
You should also not forget about the most optimal option. Before resorting to tricks, you should agree with the user. Usually access to one's own page is closed due to offense. Perhaps it is enough to ask for forgiveness and the issue will be resolved. In any case, this option is better than those that force users to visit suspicious links, allowing themselves to be deceived.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use exclusively honest methods to get off the blacklist. A rather interesting option is to create a completely new profile. Photos, personal information, name and other data may be changed on it. From this page you should visit the user or group whose blacklist the previous account is on. For the new profile they will be unlocked. Each user decides independently whether to use cunning or use an honest method.
VK users have the ability to restrict access to their page. To understand that you are on a person’s blacklist, go to their profile. If among the suggested actions there is no option to send a private message, then you are blocked.
At the moment, there is only one way to get out of the blacklist - write a private message to the user or group administrators who blocked you.
A way that will allow you to bypass the blacklist is to personally find out the reason for the ban. You may have been blocked by mistake. If you are unable to unblock yourself after this, try the following:
- Send the person who blocked you the text “https://vk.com/settings.php?act=delFromBlackList&id=***”, where instead of dots you need to indicate your id number. You won’t be able to do this on your own because of the ban, so you can ask your friend to write to you or register a new account. Once the user clicks on the link, you will be automatically unblocked.
- To remove yourself from the community ban, send the moderator a message with the following content: “https://vkontakte.ru/groups.php?act=unban&gid=***&id=xxx”. Instead of "***" indicate the group id, and instead of "xxx" - your personal identifier.
A message written personally will most likely go unnoticed, so it is better to ask friends or register a new profile on VKontakte.
The same messages can be sent from a mobile device based on both iOS and Android.
Method two: disabling the antivirus
The second solution to the problem may be to disable the antivirus. Why this is so and how it generally affects the game is difficult to say, but, in principle, it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that it helps.
It will be difficult to specify exactly what needs to be done, since there are currently a lot of antiviruses, and it is almost impossible to select any universal instructions. For this reason, only Windows Defender will be considered, for the reason that you can handle other software yourself by visiting the developer forms.
So what you will need to do:
- Enter the start screen (at the top of the window you should see the computer status, at this stage it is protected).
- Now go to the “Options” tab or select “Programs” at the top and go to settings, depending on the version of the program.
- In the left panel, find the line “Real-time protection”. Click on it.
- Uncheck the “Use real-time protection” checkbox.
- Click the “Save” button.
After that, try starting the game. If upon startup it still says “Authorization error,” go to the third method.
Causes of YouTube playback errors
Videos are blocked for many reasons. One of these factors is banal overloads in the OS and the browser itself. In the latter option, this happens due to the opening of several windows at once and, as a result, a lack of allocated memory. Other reasons lie in a large amount of browser garbage - browsing history, saved field data, cookies and cache, installations of various add-ons and much more. A simple reboot of the browser and clearing the history sometimes solves all problems.
If there is no Internet connection, the user receives a slightly different error - “No connection. Reproduction ID..." This error is identical on Android, iOS and Windows.
If an Instagram error occurs when importing a video, there may be several options for solving the problem:
- Sometimes, to solve problems with uploading videos to Instagram, it is enough to restart your smartphone and minor bugs will disappear on their own;
- To avoid failures in the operation of any application, it must be updated in a timely manner. Instagram in this case is no exception. Always check for software updates in a timely manner or configure your device to automatically install updates.
- Many people continue to use the standard Gallery application. It is advisable to change it to some alternative option. Quick pic software is very popular. It quickly solves problems with uploading video files, provides its clients with a cloud storage option and the ability to share files via Wi-Fi;
If the phone model is outdated, then the problem can only be solved by purchasing a new device.
Third method: change IP
The third method is the most radical. You should resort to it only if the authorization error was not resolved by the method of the two previous ones. In order to change the IP, you will need Cyber Ghost 5. You can download it on the Internet.
- Launch the program.
- There will be a country simulation button on the left, you need to press it.
- From the list, choose any country of your choice. Click OK.
- Press the Power button.
- Wait for the setup, then minimize the program window.
Now try launching Warface, this time everything should work and the authorization error should disappear.
When installing new software, users sometimes encounter a problem called “authorization error.” The same error occurs after registering on various social networks, information and gaming sites.
Instructions
- Considering that authorization involves entering a login and password into a special form, the error message means that the server does not accept the entered data.
- Since all pictures, sounds and files are taken from the cache when you reopen your Internet browser, to speed up the loading time of a web page, you need to clear the cache area. To delete the cache, determine the type of Internet browser you are using.
- If you are working in Windows Internet Explorer, click on the gear-shaped panel, which is located in the top right corner. Select the "Internet Options" section, then "General" and click on the "Uninstall" icon. Check the box next to the “Temporary Internet Files” option, click the “Delete” icon again, and then the “OK” sign.
- If you're using Mozilla Firefox, click the Internet browser icon, select Settings at the top, select Privacy, and click the link to clear your recent history. After this, a list will appear in which check the box next to “All” and click on “Details”. After selecting “Cache”, click on the “Clear Now” icon.
- If you work in Opera, find the “Settings” section and the “Delete personal data” subsection. Then click on the arrow button located opposite the “Detailed processing” function. Check the box next to the “Clear cache” option, then click the “Delete” icon and then “OK”.
- Once the cache is cleared, go to the security page, where you disable the checkboxes next to the functions “Prohibit saving login”, “Prohibit parallel sessions”, etc. Enter your current password in the appropriate form and click the "Save" icon.
Modern technologies every time delight their users with new progress, achievements and the discovery of new opportunities. Over the past ten years, technology has made great strides, which suggests that further development is inevitable, which will allow us to gain more and more insights, new skills and simply expand our horizons. But with every new progress comes problems, for example, on the Internet, such problems are viruses that arise almost every minute. Yes, we have antiviruses that protect our computers, each user already has special skills and caution that allows them to avoid problems, and finally, there are various services where a computer can be restored by removing a variety of viruses. But the most popular problem is the situation in which users are blocked from accessing various internal networks. Unable to authenticate over a secure connection: what to do and how to fix this problem? It is this issue that this article is devoted to, which contains all the necessary information.
How to prevent such problems in the future?
1) Use antiviruses with constantly up-to-date (fresh) virus and Trojan programs databases;
2) Before entering your username and password
from the VKontakte page, make sure that the address vk.com is accurate in your browser.
Due to your carelessness, you can give your password to an attacker by simply entering it on a page very similar to a contact, with a difference in address of just one character, for example 1vk.com;
3) Create a complex password for the VK page
and email. Don't just use letters or numbers, but alternate them, and also use large and small letters, also alternating them.
If you are currently using a simple password, immediately go to the page settings and change it to a more complex one.
This will protect you from password guessing programs. Don’t wait until you are hacked and I will send spam on your behalf;
4) Do not download suspicious programs
or add-ons for contacts, which, according to the creators, increase friends, likes and votes;
5) Don't open suspicious emails
, which come to you by e-mail and do not follow suspicious links in VKontakte messages, even if it is from a person who is your friend (but with whom you have not communicated before).
Remember that scammers do not sleep, and are always finding new ways to make money from you. Be careful and good luck.

- How to get rid of 404 error pages
While browsing the Internet, Internet Explorer may display messages indicating that the page contains errors and may not display correctly. Let's look at several ways to fix this problem.
Instructions
If there are no visible difficulties in the operation of the browser other than an error that appears periodically, you can try scripts so that the message no longer appears (if it appears on not one, but several sites at once, proceed to the next step). In the “Tools” menu, open “Internet Options”, select the “Advanced” tab and o. If you want to turn off notification for all errors, uncheck the "Show notification for every script error" checkbox.
Try opening the site that is causing the error when browsing from a different account or from a different account to see if the problem is local. If the error appears, it is most likely caused by incorrect web page code. In this case, you can disable script debugging by following the instructions in the previous step. If there is a problem when browsing using a different computer or account, continue to the next step.

. To resolve the issue, you need to reset your browser security settings. To do this, in the “Tools” menu, select “Internet Options” and go to the “Security” tab. Click the "Default" button and then "OK." If after re-running the page where the error occurred the problem remains, try the next method.
As you know, the browser stores temporary files and copies of pages in a separate folder for later access. If the folder size becomes too large, some pages may display errors. The problem can be solved by periodically emptying the folder with temporary files. To do this, open the Internet Options dialog box from the Tools menu. On the General tab, in the History group, click the Delete button. Check the boxes for Temporary Files, Cookies, Log, Web Form Data and click OK.
Helpful advice
If none of the above methods helped solve the problem of errors on the pages, download all updates for the Internet Explorer browser from the official Microsoft website and install them on your computer. Download available at www.update.microsoft.com or https://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=ru-ru.
Server errors
it is generally accepted that it is impossible to send the requested document. Errors are divided into those to be processed and those to be corrected. An error code indicating the problem is displayed in the HTTP header.
Instructions
Create a file called index.html to perform the operation to fix the 403 "Access" error that occurs when the server
execute the request due to lack of access permission to the file or its absence from the directory.
Change the permissions on the required file to 644 to allow the web server to read the selected file, or edit the permissions to read and execute the desired script in the cgi-bin directory to 755.
Perform the operation of creating and placing a .htaccess file in the www list with the value ErrorDocument 404 /not-found.html to correct the HTTP protocol error with code 404 “File not found” that appears when requesting a file that does not exist on disk.
Create a not-found.html file with a description of the problem and tips for site visitors to automatically redirect to the created page when entering a non-existent address.
Check that you entered the correct value of the required directive in the .htaccess file when an error message with code 500 Internal Server Error appears. Very often the cause is a spelling error.
Enter the value chmod 755 script.pl in the unix shell command line field if there are problems with permissions for the selected Perl script and make sure that the text (ASCII) FTP file transfer mode is used.
Check that the HTTP headers are being returned correctly in the error.log file and enter the following value in the unix shell text box to perform a syntax check on the selected script:> perl -cw script.plscript.pl syntax OK
Correct the errors found and recheck the script for correct operation.
Helpful advice
There are the following error codes, divided into positive (successful) and negative (unsuccessful):
2xxx - (positive) request completed successfully - the required document has been sent to the client; - 3xxx - request successfully redirected - (positive) client request was not completed, but redirected; - 4xxx - error - (negative) request was not completed due to a critical error; - 5xxx - server error - (negative) request failed due to a critical server error.

When developing another project on the network, namely a website, various problems may arise on the pages. The reasons for errors may be different, since it all depends on the type of site, page load, content and much more.
Instructions
To fix a specific error
on
page
, you need to have administrator rights. If you are the owner of the site, you need to find this page through the visual editor. As a rule, it is best to post verified information on the Internet. For example, before creating a page on the Internet, you check your work using other editors on a personal computer. You can also use software called Denwer.
Without an Internet connection, you can preview the future appearance of your website page. Often errors only occur in a specific browser. Try viewing this page through other popular programs classified as browsers. If the error remains, then the reason lies in the code. Carefully review the page code. Try to use special editors that highlight programming code. In this case, you will immediately be able to see your mistakes.
The main reason for the error appearing on the site may be related to hosting. As a rule, various updates are often made on the hosting server without notifying users. At the same time, various errors, bugs, incorrect display of pages and much more begin to occur. Contact the administration with a request to resolve the problem. If they don’t help you, you can write to popular programming forums for help.
It is also worth noting that the bug
on
the page
you can do it in another way.
Try copying the entire page content. Next, delete it from the site and create it again. You can change the page link name or path. In general, we can say that fixing an error

Erroneous judgments are a separate and very interesting part of logic. They are often found in everyday speech and, as a rule, are random (paralogisms). But if a logical error is made in a conclusion on purpose, in order to confuse the interlocutor and lead him astray from the correct line of thinking, then here we are talking about sophistry.
What is this problem?
What is this error that causes you to be unable to authenticate over a secure connection? Before analyzing the situation itself, it is worth studying the theory a little. Each social network or payment virtual terminal has its own special network, which is not available to the public. This allows you to avoid theft of various user information. For a long time, hackers tried to hack into internal networks, but nothing much came of it. Therefore, as a sign of protest, they created a virus, because of which, in fact, they cannot pass authorization over a secure connection. This problem often occurs among many users who do not want to use antiviruses and mainly use pirated products. But you shouldn’t panic too much about it and run to the service to give your hard-earned money, since solving this problem is quite simple, the main thing is to fully understand this situation. The virus does not damage the computer, but only blocks some capabilities and overwrites the system file. You can fix this even with your own efforts and without special knowledge.
Anonymizers
So, the first option that we can use is the so-called anonymizers. Now we will look at how to get out of the blacklist on VKontakte using these services. It's actually very easy.
There are several options for the development of events here. The first is when you log in and enter your profile using an anonymizer. When you find a suitable service (for example, Instaway), simply enter the link to the social networking site and then log in. Now your IP will not be visible to the system, and you will be able to visit the blocked page.
Does not solve the problem with leaving the blacklist. You will still remain in it. So you’ll have to look for other ways to get out of the blacklist in Contact. There are such secrets, although there are not so many of them.
What causes it?
Authorization via a secure connection is an attempt to connect a personal account to the internal network of a particular resource. Typically, large corporations that have several million active users have this type of network. This type of resource support allows you to easily track user actions, avoid DDOS attacks and respond in a timely manner to hacking attempts. A problem that prevents you from authenticating over a secure connection means that you are simply blocked from logging into that network. Which, in fact, indicates that there was a hacking attempt or you caught a malicious virus that is ready to ruin your daily activities.
An error occurred during loading - “Error code 4” VKontakte
As a rule, the phenomenon occurs when an attempt is made to play a video from the account of an active user of the site. In this case, the download does not occur and instead a message about the problem appears on the screen. It is typical for:
- built-in social network video player;
- some browsers (for example, Yandex);
- temporarily unavailable videos.
It is not always possible to solve the problem “Error code 4” in VK video on your own. Therefore, it is first necessary to determine the possible causes of its occurrence.
Is it possible to avoid it?
If you cannot authenticate over a secure connection, what should you do in this situation? Is it possible to avoid this unpleasant moment? In fact, it is quite possible not to get hooked on a virus if you use normal anti-virus programs, which are distributed for a fee and are worldwide popular. One of these programs is Kaspersky Anti-Virus, which is able to protect your computer from almost any third-party penetration and guarantees the normal operation of your operating system. Thanks to excellent protection, you will definitely not encounter this problem, but if this is the case and you are unable to use a top-end antivirus, then you should carefully and thoroughly read the instructions that will help you get rid of this problem.
Doesn't play online videos on Android
The first common option is problems with playing online videos in the browser on Android. Most recommendations on this topic boil down to actions with Flash Player, but it is almost never used anywhere for films or other videos, instead - HTML 5 video, and therefore the problem and solution, as a rule, lie elsewhere:
- If you have a modern phone with one of the new versions of Android 10, 8, 7, 6, and online video does not play in the browser, or there is only sound and a black screen, first try reducing the video resolution (if there is such a setting in the player). If this doesn't work, try disabling video hardware acceleration in your browser. For example, in Google Chrome, to do this you need to go to the chrome://flags page (in Yandex Browser - browser://flags) in the search field enter “hardware” and disable (set to “Disabled”) the parameters related to hardware video decoding .
- In the case of older versions of Android (up to 4.4-5 inclusive, although it may work on newer ones) on which the built-in browser has not been updated for a long time, try installing a third-party browser of a new version that still works on this version of the OS. For example, many videos work properly in Opera, UC Browser or Dolphin Browser (they, in addition to HTML5 video, also support Flash). These browsers are available in the Play Store or on third-party sites if the official application store has stopped working on your version of Android (more details: How to download apk of Android applications).
- If you have any proxies, VPNs, ad blockers or other applications installed that can interfere with the network and the display of sites, try removing (or disabling) them and see if the video starts working.
- If your Android phone or tablet does not show a particular video online or only on one site, but everything else is fine, it is quite possible that the problem is on the site itself and you will not be able to do anything here.
There is another way when it comes to Flash video, and today it is almost not applicable - install Adobe Flash Player on your phone. However, here you should take into account the fact that Flash Player for Android, starting from version 4.0, is not supported and you will not find it in the Google Play store (and usually it is not needed for newer versions). However, there are ways to install a Flash player on new versions of the Android OS - see How to install a Flash player on Android.
If none of these methods solved the problem, and the video still does not show, the methods described below may also be useful and work.
Good old virus
But before we fight the virus, we need to know what exactly we are dealing with. If you are unable to log in over a secure connection, this most often happens when a virus called Trojan.Mayachock.18 has appeared on your computer. This virus was created quite a long time ago, so it is not surprising that many antivirus programs simply do not recognize it, and this allows it to operate freely on your computer. What's most interesting is that the virus was created by real professionals for fun and testing anti-virus programs. At the moment, the virus itself is walking around the network, and no one controls it, so it does not have any special purposes. It simply takes over your computer and prevents you from properly accessing certain networks.
Problems with free antiviruses
Can't log in via a secure connection to Chrome, Yandex, etc.? This error can occur at any time to any user who spends a lot of time on the Internet. Sometimes many users are surprised how this can happen, because they use a free antivirus program or Windows security utility. In fact, when this virus was developed, it was given a unique code that allows it to bypass the standard protection of Windows and other programs that supposedly protect the computer for free. They simply do not identify this malicious element and quietly let it pass. Therefore, if you are precisely the user who does not use special protection programs or prefers free analogues, then you should immediately reconsider this situation, since you are at risk of falling under the influence of this virus.
Where should I start?
But if you do become one of those who cannot pass authorization, then you should start acting immediately, since it is a timely response that will allow you to get rid of the problem. So, first you should get rid of all security programs on your computer. This is quite simple to do; just use the CCleaner program, which allows you to remove programs and all files that relate to them. Be sure to clean out the “Downloads” folder, where the malicious virus probably came from. Once all of the above is completed, you should move on to the next step.
Dr. Web is a universal tool
So, in order to restore the connection and again be able to access internal networks, you should first remove the virus itself. To do this, just use the free Dr.Web CureIt utility. This program will scan your computer and find the intruder. This utility is easily recognized by various viruses that move freely on the Internet, so you will not be able to install it right away. Thanks to a special free access generator, which allows you to gain access to use the program for several days, you will receive utilities with protected code that the antivirus will not recognize. After downloading Dr.Web CureIt, you must agree to and complete a number of initial settings. Then you need to scan your entire computer using this utility. After some time, you will find that your system is infected with this virus. Using Dr.Web CureIt, remove the virus, restart your computer and try not to turn on the Internet, this will protect you from re-infection.
“Error code 4” source not supported in VK – reasons
If the video file does not play when you first connect and reconnect, and “source not supported” appears on the screen, the following conditions are possible:
- Slow Internet connection. In such cases, the next download attempt will not produce results until the network is unloaded or the repeater is restarted.
- An old version of the flash player or its absence in the browser.
- Device overload. This should be corrected by disabling and deleting unnecessary processes in the task manager.
- Inconsistent browser behavior.
- Temporarily block or disable the video.
Making adjustments and rebooting on your own is not always effective. However, there are some tips that can help improve the situation.
The need to change the system file
Authorization via a secure connection on VKontakte and other social networks occurs thanks to special settings that are entered into a regular notepad file called hosts. After entering the computer, the virus automatically changes the data of this file, prescribing various additional structures, which, in fact, block your access. To fix this, you need to find this file and remove any new data that has been added to its structure. To do this, you need to go to the path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and find the file called hosts. Open it using notepad; to do this, right-click on it and select “Open with”. After this, you will discover a huge amount of different data.
In order not to spoil the initial settings of this file, you need to find the line “#::1 localhost”. All data, symbols and settings that are written in the file after this line must be deleted. To do this, just select them and press the Delete key on the keyboard. Then close the file and agree to save the changes.
Clear application cache
If the cache is overloaded, the video may not open due to lack of memory. In such a situation, clearing the VKontakte cache can help. You can do this on the phone itself. To do this you need:
- Go to your smartphone settings.
- Select "apps and notifications" (or something similar related to apps).
- Go to “all applications” and select VKontakte.
- A window will appear with information about the application, in which you can “Erase data” or “Clear cache” (if the window does not appear, click on the “Storage” button).
- If the button associated with clearing data does not appear, you need to click on “Manage space”.
Changing Internet settings
Regardless of whether there is no connection in Skype during authorization or in any other social programs, all this is a consequence of the action. If the above recommendations did not give a positive result, then it is worth taking one more step, which will certainly get rid of this problem. It is necessary to change the settings of the Internet connection itself, which will allow you to redirect your router in the right direction for receiving information.
The fact is that in Russia, providers mainly use an automatic connection, which allows them to search for an available access point and receive power from there. The virus is designed in such a way that it is able to change Internet settings at its discretion without the user. To fix this situation, you need to go to the “Network and Sharing Center”, find your connection network, right-click on it and select “Internet Protocol 4” properties. In these settings you can find numbers indicating the IP connection, DNS server and other data. You need to remove everything and check the box next to automatic network search. If your Internet goes out completely, then you should take your contract with your provider and find the necessary settings for setting up the Internet. All these actions will help you get rid of the problem that arose as a result of infection with the virus.
Solutions
We will move through our list, from top to bottom.
Clear cache
So, first of all, we recommend clearing your smartphone’s cache.
A cache is a device's program memory that stores temporary information. It is necessary to optimize the operation of the gadget, to speed up its performance, and make the system easier to operate.
For example, you are having a long chat conversation. We decided to rewind to the beginning. The operating system will not send requests to the server to download the beginning of the correspondence (20 MB back), but will take the data from the cache. Everything will happen quickly and painlessly, without unnecessary requests.
Or, you listened to the song. An hour later we decided to play again. And again, the system will not load it again, but will play it from the cache.
As a rule, with each restart of the application or the entire device, the cache is cleared. But sometimes it fails. Or the user accidentally disables this option. As a result, the cache becomes clogged and the application cannot work normally.
How to clean?
- Open the app, tap the Profile icon and go to Menu (three bars at the top right);
- Tap the gear (bottom left);
- Go to the "Application" section;
- Scroll to the end and find the “Clear cache” item;
- Done, you have managed to free up temporary storage.
Checking Internet access
The second most common reason for the VKontakte error, when the message “Failed to complete the request” appears, is network problems.
This is understandable - the operating system is trying to connect to the server, but the “digital wiring” does not work. Therefore, once the Internet is established, requests will begin to be sent.
- Check if the Internet works in other applications;
- Reboot your router if connected via Wi-Fi;
- Make sure that you have not exhausted the remaining traffic on your tariff;
- If everything is in order, but you were unable to access the network, call your provider. There may be technical work being carried out on the line. Try rebooting the connection.
Application update
VK developers periodically update the utility. In order to improve its performance, of course, add new features, clean up errors, etc. If you do not have auto-update, do not forget to periodically check that your version is up to date.
- Open the Play Market or App Store and search for the VKontakte application;
- If you have the latest version, there will be an "Open" button;
- If not, “Update”;
- In the latter case, an update is required. Just tap the key;
- Wait a little. Ready. You have succeeded in updating the utility.
Problems from VK
If VKontakte writes that it was unable to complete the request, you should not exclude the possibility that a failure occurred with the social network itself. The servers are also sometimes glitchy. Wait a couple of hours. The system may need to be updated or the developers have initiated maintenance work.
As a rule, users are notified about planned technical procedures in advance. But no one is immune from force majeure?
What should you do right now?
- Try logging out of your account and logging in again. Managed?
- If not, try logging into the social network through a mobile browser;
- Still failed? Restart the application;
- The last resort is to uninstall the utility. Now you need to perform a fresh installation.
Phone crash
Technology can also fail. We recommend doing the following:
- Reboot your device;
- Clear cache. To do this, go to Settings - Device Maintenance - Memory - Cache (path for Samsung A51, other phones may have slight differences);
- Check the Internet.
Kaspersky is the only protection
You will always be able to pass authorization over a secure connection if you use a simple recommendation, which is to use a good, constantly updated and simple one from Kaspersky. This program will protect your data, ensure safe network surfing and will not allow viruses to enter your computer. Thanks to this unique development, you can completely calmly go about your business and not worry about any problems that may arise as a result of careless use of the Internet.
