This page shows how to remove here.sendevent.net from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Did you notice here.sendevent.net  in the lower left corner of your browser or in the network log? If so, you may have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system. I noticed here.sendevent.net in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar when doing a search at Google, but I guess here.sendevent.net can show up if you are using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera too.

Here is how here.sendevent.net appeared in my network log:

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

• Waiting for here.sendevent.net…
• Transferring data from here.sendevent.net…
• Looking up here.sendevent.net…
• Read here.sendevent.net
• Connected to here.sendevent.net…

If you also see this on your machine, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the here.sendevent.net domain appear in your browser. So there’s no use contacting the owner of the site you were browsing. The here.sendevent.net status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the here.sendevent.net removal in this blog post.

I found here.sendevent.net on one of the lab systems 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 web browsers, injected ads on website that usually don’t show adverts, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

here.sendevent.net resolves to 173.193.193.141 and sendevent.net to the 148.251.20.144 IP address. here.sendevent.net was created on 2014-05-04. The WHOIS info in protected by WHOISGUARD, INC.

So, how do you remove here.sendevent.net from your browser? On the machine where here.sendevent.net showed up in the statusbar I had Movie Wizard, MedPlayerNewVersion and istartsurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from here.sendevent.net.

The problem with statusbar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program running on my computer. 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 here.sendevent.net removal:

1. What software do you have installed if you look in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don’t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed?
2. How about your add-ons that you have in your browser. Anything in the list that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t help, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer to manually track down the potentially unwanted program. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as browser add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a VirusTotal report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
