This page shows how to remove i.crbsjs.info from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Does this sound like what you are seeing right now? You see i.crbsjs.info in your browser’s status bar while browsing sites that generally don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the i.crbsjs.info domain show up when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here’s how the i.crbsjs.info status bar message looked like when I got it on my computer:

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

• Waiting for i.crbsjs.info…
• Transferring data from i.crbsjs.info…
• Looking up i.crbsjs.info…
• Read i.crbsjs.info
• Connected to i.crbsjs.info…

If you also see this on your system, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the i.crbsjs.info domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the site you were browsing. The i.crbsjs.info status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the i.crbsjs.info removal in this blog post.

I found i.crbsjs.info on one of the lab systems where I have some potentially unwanted programs running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The potentially unwanted programs was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the web browsers, injected ads on website that usually don’t show advertisements, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

i.crbsjs.info was created on 2015-03-15. i.crbsjs.info resolves to the 198.7.59.24 address.

So, how do you remove i.crbsjs.info from your browser? On the machine where i.crbsjs.info showed up in the status bar I had Movie Wizard, MedPlayerNewVersion and istartsurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from i.crbsjs.info.

It seems as i.crbsjs.info is getting quite a lot of traffic, based on Alexa’s traffic rank:

The issue with status bar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program on my computer. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the i.crbsjs.info removal:

1. What software do you have installed if you look in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don’t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed?
2. How about your add-ons you have in your browsers. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that does not help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down potentially unwanted programs. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your computer 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:
