Remove chinglove.country Pop Up Survey Ads

Did you just get a pop-up from chinglove.country and wonder where it came from? Did the chinglove.country ad appear to have been initiated from a web site that under normal circumstances don’t use aggressive advertising such as pop-up windows? Or did the chinglove.country pop-up show up while you clicked a link on one of the big search engines, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo?

Here is a screenshot on the chinglove.country pop-up from my system:

Does this sound like what you see your system, you apparently have some adware installed on your computer that pops up the chinglove.country ads. So don’t blame the people that runs the web site you were at, the ads are presumably not coming from that web site, but from the adware that’s installed on your machine. I’ll do my best to help you remove the chinglove.country pop-up in this blog post.

I found the chinglove.country pop-up on one of the lab systems where I have some adware running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware 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 advertisements, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

hqxzz.exclusive-rewards.chinglove.country resolves to 104.237.159.89 and chinglove.country to the 184.73.247.179 IP address. chinglove.country was created on 2015-01-07.

So, how do you remove the chinglove.country pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the chinglove.country ads I had BrowserWarden, BlockAndSurf and TinyWallet installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the chinglove.country pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.

The problem with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be launched by many variants of adware, not just the adware on my computer. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the chinglove.country ads removal:

  1. Review 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 you installed in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that did not help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your machine at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your computer. 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:
