Slaygor Whats a bookmark Redirect?? and do i have to delete everything in my browser history and cache, also whats a redirecting cookies?

    As far as I'm aware, a bookmark redirect poses no threat to your accounts in and of itself. All it does is find a certain bookmark and overwrite it's linked site. The problem is that they are often bundled with other malware in order to get on your computer in the first place. As such, I would highly recommend running a virus scan anyway even if the cache clearing works. And, depending on what the scan finds, think about changing passwords on any important sites. IE, bank sites and so on. Make sure you do the scan first. You want to get rid of any Keyloggers and/or Trojans first, or changing passwords will be pointless.

      Slaygor Thanks for advice but which Anti virus scan should i use and is Bit-Defender a good one?

        I don't know Bit-Defender, so I can't say if it's any good or not. I personally use 'AVG free' as I'm on a pension and can't afford to pay for an anti-virus. I find it's the best of the free anti-virus software that I have used so far.
        As far as clearing your cache goes, it can normally be found somewhere under your browsers settings. where exactly depends on which browser you use. Unless there is a 'cache' menu, try either 'privacy/security' or 'memory/storage'. If you use Firefox, like me, it will be under 'settings->privacy & security'.

          I tried using different browsers and noticed something; after cleaning browsers, whenever you go to webnovel, a reading preference will pop-up and below was written 'Webnovel’s female-targeted brand is now Chereads!'
          When I choose female-lead, it directly brings me to Chereads. But if I pick male-lead or didn't select any, it stays on webnovel.

            This right here is why I hate the WN policy of implementing changes without any notice. Not even a "Hey, we changed this" after the fact. they would clear so much of the 'bug' reports if they just took the time to let users know what's changed.

              Glad it helps! 😃
              But I'm not sure if cheareads is a sister-web or a 3rd-party site that attacks webnovel because I'm new here. Still, I hope it won't have much effect on us.
