Hello,

suddenly, my vbulletin 4.2 site started loading very slow (blank page for like 15 seconds and then start loading).
When i disable modules by adding "define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);" into /includes/config.php
Then site is loading perfectly quick.

I tried to remove above mentioned line and disable all modules one by one and site still loading slow (like 15 sec. timeout before start loading).

Which is strange. Is it something with hook system/datastore?

/archive/index.php/f-101.html - loading quickly, but not index or threads/forums

i tried to restore backup (files+mysql), but the problem persist. I tried to access site via different proxy, same issue.
Other similar vbulletin sites on same server do not have this issue.

Thank You

You said you disabled all modules, do you mean plugins by that?
Note that even when you disable all plugins one by one, there will still be hooks active that are not bound to any plugins under Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager.

Thx and sorry for the confusion. I disabled all items found in AdminCP / Plugins & Products / "Manage Products" and "Plugin Manager" sections
Except "vbulletin licence" item is enabled... Yet the problem persist until i disable Plugin/hook system itself via AdminCP or via config.php as mentioned.

"vbulletin license" is fake and malware and the cause of the slowness of your forum, delete it asap.
This user had the same problem a few days ago: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=325615

But your forum most likely still contains malware code..
