Does this sound like what you see your system, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the tvx.poetiseunderpay.com domain appear in your browser. So don’t flame the people that owns the site you were at when you first spotted tvx.poetiseunderpay.com in the status bar. They are almost certainly not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s running on your system. I’ll do my best to help you remove the tvx.poetiseunderpay.com message in this blog post.

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

tvx.poetiseunderpay.com resolves to the 81.95.152.218 address. tvx.poetiseunderpay.com was registered on 2015-05-13.

So, how do you remove tvx.poetiseunderpay.com from your browser? On the machine where tvx.poetiseunderpay.com showed up in the statusbar I had SalePlus, YouTubeAdBlocke and IStart 5.3.7 installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from tvx.poetiseunderpay.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 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 tvx.poetiseunderpay.com removal:

  1. Review what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see anything that you don’t remember installing 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 did not 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 web 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:
