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

Having issues with wss.pesterlipid.com showing up in the lower left corner of your browser? If so, you might have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer. I noticed wss.pesterlipid.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar when doing a search at Google, but I guess wss.pesterlipid.com can show up if you are using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera too.

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

• Waiting for wss.pesterlipid.com…
• Transferring data from wss.pesterlipid.com…
• Looking up wss.pesterlipid.com…
• Read wss.pesterlipid.com
• Connected to wss.pesterlipid.com…

If this description sounds like your computer, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the wss.pesterlipid.com domain appear in your browser. Don’t write angry emails to the web site you were browsing, they are probably not responsible for the wss.pesterlipid.com status bar messages. The potentially unwanted program on your computer is. I’ll try help you with the wss.pesterlipid.com removal in this blog post.

If you have been visiting this blog already know this, but if you are new: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab computers and intentionally installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. I’ve been monitoring the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of ads, if any, that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional software on the machines. I first noticed wss.pesterlipid.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

wss.pesterlipid.com was registered on 2015-05-13. wss.pesterlipid.com resolves to the 81.95.152.222 IP address.

So, how do you remove wss.pesterlipid.com from your browser? On the machine where wss.pesterlipid.com showed up in the status bar I had BrowserWarden, TinyWallet and BlockAndSurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from wss.pesterlipid.com.

The issue with statusbar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs. 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 wss.pesterlipid.com removal:

1. Examine 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. You can also review the add-ons that you have in your browser. Same thing here, do you see anything that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t solve the problem, 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 system. 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:
