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

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

Here’s how the softpeaches.com showed up in my network log:

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

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

If this description sounds like your story, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the softpeaches.com domain appear in your web browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the web site you currently were browsing. The softpeaches.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the softpeaches.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab computers and intentionally installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. I have been observing the behaviour on these computers 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 and installs additional software on the computers. I first noticed softpeaches.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab computers.

softpeaches.com was registered on 2015-11-10.

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

The problem 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 system. 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 softpeaches.com removal:

1. 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?
2. How about your add-ons you installed in your browsers. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t solve the problem, 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:
