Remove fee.tofypvefyrse.com from Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer

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

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

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

  • Waiting for fee.tofypvefyrse.com…
  • Transferring data from fee.tofypvefyrse.com…
  • Looking up fee.tofypvefyrse.com…
  • Read fee.tofypvefyrse.com
  • Connected to fee.tofypvefyrse.com…

Does this sound like your story, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the fee.tofypvefyrse.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner for the site you were at would be a waste of time. The fee.tofypvefyrse.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the fee.tofypvefyrse.com removal in this blog post.

If you have been spending some time on this blog already know this, but if you are new: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab machines and intentionally installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been following the actions on these systems to see what kinds of advertisements, if any, that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program updates itself, or if it installs additional software on the systems. I first found fee.tofypvefyrse.com in ‘s status bar on one of these lab systems.

fee.tofypvefyrse.com was created on 2015-01-05. fee.tofypvefyrse.com resolves to the 81.95.152.222 IP address.

So, how do you remove fee.tofypvefyrse.com from your web browser? On the machine where fee.tofypvefyrse.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 fee.tofypvefyrse.com.

The issue with status bar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program that’s installed on my machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the statusbar messages.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the fee.tofypvefyrse.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove fee.tofypvefyrse.com is to examine the programs 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 you can just type in “uninstall” in the Control Panel’s search field to find that dialog:
Uninstall a program search

Click on the “Uninstall a program” link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:
Uninstall a program dialog

Do you see something suspicious listed there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if some program was installed about the same time as you started observing the fee.tofypvefyrse.com status bar messages.

Then you can examine you web browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often appear under the add-ons dialog in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to track down and remove the potentially unwanted program with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the FreeFixer removal tool to identify and remove the potentially unwanted program. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I started develop about 8 years ago. It’s a tool designed to manually identify 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 will not require you to pay a fee just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

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