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

Does this sound familiar? You see app.bestpriceninja.com in your browser’s statusbar while browsing sites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the app.bestpriceninja.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the app.bestpriceninja.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 app.bestpriceninja.com…
• Transferring data from app.bestpriceninja.com…
• Looking up app.bestpriceninja.com…
• Read app.bestpriceninja.com
• Connected to app.bestpriceninja.com…

Update: I’ve also seen the jsgnr.bestpriceninja.com subdomain in use.

Does this sound like your story, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the app.bestpriceninja.com domain appear in your browser. Don’t blame the people that owns the web site you were at when you first spotted app.bestpriceninja.com in the status bar. They are presumably not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s installed on your system. I’ll do my best to help you with the app.bestpriceninja.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Recently I dedicated a few of my lab machines and knowingly installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been observing the actions 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 auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional software on the computers. I first observed app.bestpriceninja.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

app.bestpriceninja.com was created on 2015-04-27. bestpriceninja.com resolves to the 104.20.30.52 IP address and app.bestpriceninja.com to 54.148.105.122.

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

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the app.bestpriceninja.com removal:

1. Check what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
2. How about your add-ons that you have in your web browser. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t solve the problem, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer to manually track down the potentially unwanted program. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as web browser add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a VirusTotal report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
