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

Sound familiar? You see jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com in your web browser’s status bar while browsing sites that in general don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com showed up in my network log on my machine:

This happened while I was searching at Google.se.

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

• Waiting for jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com…
• Transferring data from jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com…
• Looking up jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com…
• Read jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com
• Connected to jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com…

Does this sound like your experience, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com domain appear in your browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the web site you currently were browsing. The jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com removal in this blog post.

If you have been following this blog already know this, but if you are new: Recently I dedicated some of my lab computers and deliberately installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. I’ve been tracking the behaviour on these machines to see what kinds of adverts, if any, that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program updates itself, or if it downloads additional software on the computers. I first observed jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab computers.

jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com resolves to the 37.58.80.220 IP address.

So, how do you remove jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com from your web browser? On the machine where jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com showed up in the status bar I had Web Bar, SpeeditApp and Web United installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com.

The bad news with this type of status bar message 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 statusbar messages.

So, what can be done to solve the problem? To remove jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com you need to review your machine for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com is to examine the software installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can reach 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 strange-looking 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 getting the jyl.cigarettemusculoskeletal.com status bar messages.

The next thing to check would be your web browser’s add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons dialog in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Something that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to track down and remove 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 started develop about 8 years ago. It’s a tool designed to manually track down and uninstall unwanted software. When you’ve found 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 locked down like many other removal tools out there. It won’t require you to pay a fee just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having difficulties figuring out if a file is legit or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up a web page which contains additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
