This page shows how to remove ftu.orificeshusky.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Having a mess with ftu.orificeshusky.com showing up in the lower left corner of your browser? If that is the case, you may have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine. I noticed ftu.orificeshusky.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar when doing a search at Google, but I guess ftu.orificeshusky.com can show up if you are using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera too.
The following are some of the status bar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:
- Waiting for ftu.orificeshusky.com…
- Transferring data from ftu.orificeshusky.com…
- Looking up ftu.orificeshusky.com…
- Read ftu.orificeshusky.com
- Connected to ftu.orificeshusky.com…
If you also see this on your machine, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the ftu.orificeshusky.com domain appear in your web browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the site you were browsing. The ftu.orificeshusky.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the ftu.orificeshusky.com removal in this blog post.
If you have been following this blog already know this, but if you are new: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab machines and purposely installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been tracking the behaviour 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 automatically, or if it downloads additional software on the machines. I first observed ftu.orificeshusky.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.
ftu.orificeshusky.com was created on 2015-05-13. ftu.orificeshusky.com resolves to 81.95.152.218.
So, how do you remove ftu.orificeshusky.com from your browser? On the machine where ftu.orificeshusky.com showed up in the status bar I had SalePlus, IStart 5.3.7 and YouTubeAdBlocke installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from ftu.orificeshusky.com.
The problem with status bar messages such as this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program running on my system. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.
Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the ftu.orificeshusky.com removal:
The first thing I would do to remove ftu.orificeshusky.com is to examine the programs installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can open 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:
Click on the “Uninstall a program” link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:
Do you see something dubious in 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 ftu.orificeshusky.com status bar messages.
Then I would check the web browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons menu in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Something that you don’t remember installing?
I think you will be able to find and uninstall 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 built to manually track down and remove unwanted software. When you’ve identified 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 crippled like many other removal tools out there. It will not 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 legitimate or potentially unwanted in the FreeFixer scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your browser with a page which contains additional information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
