How To Remove i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com

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

Does this sound like what you are seeing right now? You see i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com in your browser’s status bar while browsing websites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com status bar message looked like on my machine:

i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com status bar

 

It appeared while I did a search at Google.

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

  • Waiting for i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com…
  • Transferring data from i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com…
  • Looking up i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com…
  • Read i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com
  • Connected to i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com…

If you also see this on your system, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner of the website you were browsing would be a waste of time. They are not responsible for the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com statusbar messages. I’ll try help you with the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com removal in this blog post.

I found i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com 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 something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on website that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com resolves to the 198.7.58.94 IP address.

So, how do you remove i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com from your web browser? On the machine where i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com showed up in the status bar I had NetMon and Jelbrus Secure Web installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com.

The problem with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post 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 status bar messages.

To remove i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com you need to examine your computer for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.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 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 something was installed about the same time as you started getting the i_ividijs_info.tlscdn.com status bar messages.

The next thing to check would be your web browser’s add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons dialog in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to identify 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. Freefixer is a tool designed to manually track down and uninstall unwanted software. When you’ve found 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 purchase the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having problems determining 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 information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
