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

Having a mess with lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com showing up in the lower left corner of your browser? If that is the case, you might have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system. I noticed lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar when doing a search at Google, but I guess lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com can appear if you are using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera too.

Here’s a screenshot of lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com when it showed up on my system:

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

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

If this description sounds like your machine, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com domain appear in your browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the web site you currently were browsing. The lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab machines and wilfully 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 downloads additional software on the machines. I first observed lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com resolves to the 37.58.67.154 IP address. lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com was registered on 2015-07-30.

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

The issue with this type of status bar message is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program 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 lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove lnx.bibliographicconfluent.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 about the same time as you started observing the lnx.bibliographicconfluent.com status bar messages.

Then you can examine you browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often appear under the add-ons dialog in Chrome, Firefox, 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 identify and remove 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 many years ago. Freefixer is a tool designed 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 will not require you to purchase the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having difficulties figuring out if a file is clean or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up a web page which contains additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
