Don’t flame the people that owns the site you were at when you first spotted d.onlinemoviewizard.com in the statusbar. They are probably not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s running on your system. I’ll try help you to remove the d.onlinemoviewizard.com status bar messages in this blog post.

I found d.onlinemoviewizard.com on one of the lab computers 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 website that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

d.onlinemoviewizard.com resolves to the 54.192.194.83 IP address and onlinemoviewizard.com to 54.192.193.23. d.onlinemoviewizard.com was registered on 2014-05-22. I’ve also seen s.onlinemoviewizard.com (54.246.231.213) in use:

So, how do you remove d.onlinemoviewizard.com from your web browser? On the machine where d.onlinemoviewizard.com showed up in the status bar I had Movie Wizard, MedPlayerNewVersion and istartsurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from d.onlinemoviewizard.com. Based on the domain name, it appears that Movie Wizard is responsible for the connection.

To remove d.onlinemoviewizard.com you need to examine your system for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

  1. Check what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see anything that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
  2. You can also review the add-ons you have in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
  3. If that didn’t 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 computer 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:
