This page shows how to remove 123lottosystem.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Did you just see 123lottosystem.com in the status bar of your browser and ask yourself where it came from? Or did 123lottosystem.com show up while you searched for something on one of the big search engines, such as the Google search engine?

The ads were labelled “Ads by MediaPlayerVid“.

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

• Waiting for 123lottosystem.com…
• Transferring data from 123lottosystem.com…
• Looking up 123lottosystem.com…
• Read 123lottosystem.com
• Connected to 123lottosystem.com…

Does this sound like what you see your system, you apparently have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the 123lottosystem.com domain appear in your browser. So don’t blame the people that runs the website you were at when you first spotted 123lottosystem.com in the statusbar. They are most likely not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s running on your machine. I’ll try help you with the 123lottosystem.com removal in this blog post.

Those that have been reading this blog already know this, but for new visitors: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab systems and wilfully installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. I’ve been monitoring the actions on these machines to see what kinds of advertisements, 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 machines. I first observed 123lottosystem.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

123lottosystem.com resolves to the 72.52.4.121 IP address. 123lottosystem.com was registered on 2014-06-11.

So, how do you remove 123lottosystem.com from your web browser? On the machine where 123lottosystem.com showed up in the statusbar I had istartsurf, MedPlayerNewVersion and Movie Wizard installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from 123lottosystem.com.

The problem with status bar messages such as this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program on my computer. 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 123lottosystem.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove 123lottosystem.com is to examine the programs 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 suspicious in there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if something was installed approximately about the same time as you started observing the 123lottosystem.com status bar messages.

Then you can examine you web browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons dialog in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, 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 started develop about 8 years ago. Freefixer is a tool built to manually identify 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 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 problems determining if a file is clean or potentially unwanted in the FreeFixer scan report, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your web browser with a page which contains additional information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
