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

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

Here’s trd.demiecgeagro.com in my network log:

trd.demiecgeagro.com connection

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

  • Waiting for trd.demiecgeagro.com…
  • Transferring data from trd.demiecgeagro.com…
  • Looking up trd.demiecgeagro.com…
  • Read trd.demiecgeagro.com
  • Connected to trd.demiecgeagro.com…

If you also see this on your machine, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the trd.demiecgeagro.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner for the site you were at would be a waste of time. The trd.demiecgeagro.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the trd.demiecgeagro.com removal in this blog post.

I found trd.demiecgeagro.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 something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the web browsers, injected ads on web site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

trd.demiecgeagro.com was registered on 2015-03-18. trd.demiecgeagro.com resolves to the 81.95.152.222 IP address.

So, how do you remove trd.demiecgeagro.com from your web browser? On the machine where trd.demiecgeagro.com showed up in the status bar I had SalePlus, IStart 5.3.7 and YouTubeAdBlocke installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from trd.demiecgeagro.com.

The issue with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program that’s installed on my machine. 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 trd.demiecgeagro.com removal:

  1. Check 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 examine the add-ons you installed in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see anything that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that didn’t help, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer to manually track down the potentially unwanted program. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as browser add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a VirusTotal report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
