This page shows how to remove i.megainbsjs.info and i_megainbsjs_info.tlscdn.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

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

I noticed these two domains in Firefox’ statusbar while I was searching on Google.

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

• Waiting for i.megainbsjs.info…
• Transferring data from i.megainbsjs.info…
• Looking up i.megainbsjs.info…
• Read i.megainbsjs.info
• Connected to i.megainbsjs.info…

If this description sounds like your story, you apparently have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the i.megainbsjs.info domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the website you were browsing. The i.megainbsjs.info status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the i.megainbsjs.info removal in this blog post.

I found i.megainbsjs.info on one of the lab machines 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 anything new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

i_megainbsjs_info.tlscdn.com resolves to the 198.7.62.85 IP address and i.megainbsjs.info to 198.7.58.88. i.megainbsjs.info was registered on 2015-03-15.

So, how do you remove i.megainbsjs.info from your web browser? On the machine where i.megainbsjs.info showed up in the statusbar I had WNet, CashReminder, ActSys and PlainSavings installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from i.megainbsjs.info.

The issue with this type of status bar message 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 i.megainbsjs.info 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, 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 machine at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your computer. 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:
