This page shows how to remove extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Does this sound familiar? You see extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com in your web browser’s status bar or in you network log while browsing sites that generally don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com domain show up when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here’s how the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com appeared in my network log when I did a Google search:

Please note that the URL contains a reference to Torntv.

I think the following status bar messages can also appear in your browser’s status bar:

• Waiting for extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com…
• Transferring data from extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com…
• Looking up extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com…
• Read extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com
• Connected to extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com…

Does this sound like what you are seeing, you apparently have some adware installed on your system that makes the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com domain appear in your web browser. So don’t write angry emails to the site you were browsing, they are almost certainly not responsible for the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com statusbar messages. The adware on your system is. I’ll try help you with the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab computers and knowingly installed a few adware programs on them. Since then I have been following the actions on these systems to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself, or if it downloads additional unwanted software on the machines. I first observed the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com resolves to the 94.31.29.96 address.

So, how do you remove extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com from your web browser? On the machine where extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com showed up in the status bar I had TornTV installed. I removed it with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com.

NetDNA, now named MaxCDN, is a Content Delivery Network provider. According to their web site, they hosts data from lots of companies, such as Kodak, Garmin, etc. Here’s the netdna-ssl.com traffic rank from Alexa:

The issue with status bar messages like this one is that I think it can be caused 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 statusbar messages.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.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 Operating System 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 strange-looking listed there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if some program was installed approximately about the same time as you started observing the extclickmedia-maynemyltf.netdna-ssl.com status bar messages. Do you see TornTV there?

Then I would check the browser add-ons. Adware often show up under the add-ons menu in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing? Do you see TornTV?

I think you will be able to find and remove the adware with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the FreeFixer removal tool to identify and remove the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I started develop many years ago. It’s a tool built to manually track down and uninstall unwanted software. When you’ve tracked down 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 won’t require you to purchase the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having problems deciding if a file is clean or adware in FreeFixer’s scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your web browser with a page which contains additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
