Remove bxs.eigdagoo.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer

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

Did you just see bxs.eigdagoo.com in the status bar of your browser and wonder where it came from? Or did bxs.eigdagoo.com show up while you searched for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?

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

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

Does this sound like what you see your computer, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the bxs.eigdagoo.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner for the site you were at would be a waste of time. The bxs.eigdagoo.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the bxs.eigdagoo.com status bar messages in this blog post.

I found bxs.eigdagoo.com on one of the lab machines where I have some potentially unwanted programs running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The potentially unwanted programs was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on web site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

bxs.eigdagoo.com resolves to 81.95.152.220. bxs.eigdagoo.com was created on 2015-03-18.

So, how do you remove bxs.eigdagoo.com from your browser? On the machine where bxs.eigdagoo.com showed up in the statusbar I had SalePlus, IStart 5.3.7 and YouTubeAdBlocke installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from bxs.eigdagoo.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 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 bxs.eigdagoo.com removal:

  1. Examine 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. You can also review the browser add-ons. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that does 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 system 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:
