This page shows how to remove gil.eldestnationalising.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Sound familiar? You see gil.eldestnationalising.com in your web browser’s statusbar while browsing web sites that generally don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the gil.eldestnationalising.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google search engine?
The following are some of the statusbar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:
- Waiting for gil.eldestnationalising.com…
- Transferring data from gil.eldestnationalising.com…
- Looking up gil.eldestnationalising.com…
- Read gil.eldestnationalising.com
- Connected to gil.eldestnationalising.com…
If this sounds like what you are seeing on your system, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the gil.eldestnationalising.com domain appear in your browser. Don’t blame the people that owns the site you were at when you first spotted gil.eldestnationalising.com in the status bar. They are most likely not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s running on your system. I’ll do my best to help you with the gil.eldestnationalising.com removal in this blog post.
Those that have been reading this blog already know this, but here we go: Recently I dedicated some of my lab computers and deliberately installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then 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 auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional software on the computers. I first observed gil.eldestnationalising.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.
gil.eldestnationalising.com resolves to 37.58.80.220.
So, how do you remove gil.eldestnationalising.com from your browser? On the machine where gil.eldestnationalising.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 gil.eldestnationalising.com.
The bad news 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 running 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 gil.eldestnationalising.com removal:
- What software do you have installed if you look in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don’t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed?
- How about your browser add-ons. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
- If that did not help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down potentially unwanted programs. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your computer at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your machine. If you would like to get additional details about a file in FreeFixer’s scan result, you can just click the More Info link for that file and a web page with a VirusTotal report will open up, which can be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
