This page shows how to remove cge.voeogvageo.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Does this sound like your story? You see cge.voeogvageo.com in your web browser’s status bar while browsing web sites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the cge.voeogvageo.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google search engine?
Here’s a screenshot of cge.voeogvageo.com when it showed up on my system in the network logger:
Here are some of the status bar messages you may see in your browser’s statusbar:
- Waiting for cge.voeogvageo.com…
- Transferring data from cge.voeogvageo.com…
- Looking up cge.voeogvageo.com…
- Read cge.voeogvageo.com
- Connected to cge.voeogvageo.com…
Does this sound like what you see your computer, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the cge.voeogvageo.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the website you were browsing. The cge.voeogvageo.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the cge.voeogvageo.com statusbar messages in this blog post.
For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab machines and deliberately installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. I have been observing the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program updates itself automatically, or if it downloads and installs additional potentially unwanted programs on the machines. I first spotted the cge.voeogvageo.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab computers.
cge.voeogvageo.com resolves to 81.95.152.222.
So, how do you remove cge.voeogvageo.com from your web browser? On the machine where cge.voeogvageo.com showed up in the status bar I had BlockAndSurf, TinyWallet and BrowserWarden installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from cge.voeogvageo.com.
The problem with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post 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.
To remove cge.voeogvageo.com you need to review your computer for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:
- 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?
- You can also review the add-ons you installed in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see anything that you don’t remember installing?
- 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 system at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your system. 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:
