This page shows how to remove tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Did you just see tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com in the status bar or the network log of your web browser and wonder where it came from? Or did tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com show up while you search for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?

Here’s how the tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com connection looked like in the network log when I got it on my computer:

tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com connection

Here are some of the status bar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:

  • Waiting for tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com…
  • Transferring data from tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com…
  • Looking up tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com…
  • Read tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com
  • Connected to tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com…

If you also see this on your computer, you probably have some adware installed on your system that makes the tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com domain appear in your web browser. So don’t write angry emails to the site you were browsing, they are most likely not responsible for the tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com status bar messages. The adware on your computer is. I’ll try help you with the tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab machines and knowingly installed some adware programs on them. I have been following the behaviour on these computers to see what kinds of adverts that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself, or if it installs additional unwanted software on the machines. I first found the tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab systems.

tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com resolves to the 81.95.152.218 address. tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com was registered on 2015-01-05 and is protected by WHOISGUARD INC.

So, how do you remove tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com from your browser? On the machine where tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com showed up in the status bar I had CheckMeUp installed. I removed it with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com.

The problem with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post is that it can be caused by many variants of adware. I think that adware such as NewPlayer, SaferSurf, BlockAndSurf and SpeedCheck can also be responsible for tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com appearing in the browser. And there are probably other variants too. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

So, what can be done to solve the problem? To remove tyu.flafyshzfyoom.com you need to examine your computer for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

  1. Review what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
  2. How about your add-ons you installed in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that didn’t help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your system at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your machine. If you would like to get additional details about a file in FreeFixer’s scan result, you can just click the More Info link for that file and a web page with a VirusTotal report will open up, which can be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
