This page shows how to remove fpy.tykedenizens.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Did you just see fpy.tykedenizens.com in the status bar of your browser and wonder where it came from? Or did fpy.tykedenizens.com show up while you searched for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google.com search engine?
Here are some of the statusbar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:
- Waiting for fpy.tykedenizens.com…
- Transferring data from fpy.tykedenizens.com…
- Looking up fpy.tykedenizens.com…
- Read fpy.tykedenizens.com
- Connected to fpy.tykedenizens.com…
If you also see this on your computer, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the fpy.tykedenizens.com domain appear in your web browser. Contacting the owner of the site you were browsing would be a waste of time. They are not responsible for the fpy.tykedenizens.com status bar messages. I’ll do my best to help you with the fpy.tykedenizens.com removal in this blog post.
I found fpy.tykedenizens.com on one of the lab machines 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 anything new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.
fpy.tykedenizens.com resolves to the 81.95.152.218 IP address. fpy.tykedenizens.com was registered on 2015-05-13.
So, how do you remove fpy.tykedenizens.com from your web browser? On the machine where fpy.tykedenizens.com showed up in the status bar I had IStart 5.3.7, SalePlus and YouTubeAdBlocke installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from fpy.tykedenizens.com.
If you are wondering if there are many others out seeing fpy.tykedenizens.com in the browser, the answer is probably yes. Check out the traffic rank from Alexa:
The problem 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 machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.
So, what can be done? To remove fpy.tykedenizens.com you need to examine your machine for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:
The first thing I would do to remove fpy.tykedenizens.com is to examine the software installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can find this dialog from the Windows Control Panel. If you are using one of the more recent versions of Windows you can just type in “uninstall” in the Control Panel’s search field to find that dialog:
Click on the “Uninstall a program” link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:
Do you see something suspect in there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if something was installed about the same time as you started observing the fpy.tykedenizens.com status bar messages.
Then I would check the browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often appear under the add-ons dialog in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there something that looks suspicious? Something that you don’t remember installing?
I think you will be able to identify and uninstall the potentially unwanted program with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the FreeFixer removal tool to identify and remove the potentially unwanted program. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’ve developed since 2006. It’s a tool designed to manually find and remove unwanted software. When you’ve identified the unwanted files you can simply tick a checkbox and click on the Fix button to remove the unwanted file.
FreeFixer’s removal feature is not crippled like many other removal tools out there. It will not require you to pay for the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.
And if you’re having issues determining if a file is legitimate or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan report, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your browser with a page which contains more information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
