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

Does this sound familiar? You see hgh.filletoutdated.com in your web browser’s status bar while browsing sites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the hgh.filletoutdated.com domain show up when performing a search at the Google search engine?

Here is how the hgh.filletoutdated.com status bar message looked like on my machine:

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

• Waiting for hgh.filletoutdated.com…
• Transferring data from hgh.filletoutdated.com…
• Looking up hgh.filletoutdated.com…
• Read hgh.filletoutdated.com
• Connected to hgh.filletoutdated.com…

If you also see this on your machine, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the hgh.filletoutdated.com domain appear in your web browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the website you currently were browsing. The hgh.filletoutdated.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the hgh.filletoutdated.com removal in this blog post.

Those that have been reading this blog already know this, but here we go: Some time ago I dedicated a few of my lab computers and intentionally installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I’ve been tracking the behaviour 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 installs additional software on the machines. I first observed hgh.filletoutdated.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

hgh.filletoutdated.com resolves to the 37.58.67.154 IP address.

So, how do you remove hgh.filletoutdated.com from your browser? On the machine where hgh.filletoutdated.com showed up in the statusbar I had WebShield, mystartsearch, Wajam, PhaseProfessor, FastSearch, PrimaryColor, SSFK.exe, SFKEX64.exe, YTDownloader and acengine installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from hgh.filletoutdated.com.

The issue with status bar messages like this one 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 hgh.filletoutdated.com removal:

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

Then you can examine you browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often appear under the add-ons menu in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to find 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’ve developed since 2006. It’s a tool built to manually find and remove 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 crippled 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 a mess determining 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 your browser with a page which contains more details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
