This page shows how to remove intext.linknavi1.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Did you just see intext.linknavi1.com in the statusbar of your browser and wonder where it came from? Or did intext.linknavi1.com show up while you searched for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?
Here is a screenshot on intext.linknavi1.com from my machine:
It appeared while I did a Google search. Here are some of the status bar messages you may see in your browser’s statusbar:
- Waiting for intext.linknavi1.com…
- Transferring data from intext.linknavi1.com…
- Looking up intext.linknavi1.com…
- Read intext.linknavi1.com
- Connected to intext.linknavi1.com…
If this sounds like what you are seeing on your system, you almost certainly have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the intext.linknavi1.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the web site you were browsing. The intext.linknavi1.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the intext.linknavi1.com removal in this blog post.
For those that are new to the blog: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab machines and wilfully installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been monitoring the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of adverts that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program updates itself, or if it downloads additional potentially unwanted programs on the computers. I first observed the intext.linknavi1.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.
intext.linknavi1.com was created on 2014-08-18. intext.linknavi1.com resolves to the 23.23.147.148 address and linknavi1.com to 216.146.46.11. The domain info is under protection of Domains By Proxy, LLC.
So, how do you remove intext.linknavi1.com from your browser? On the machine where intext.linknavi1.com showed up in the status bar I had CheckMeUp installed. I removed it with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from intext.linknavi1.com.
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 on my system. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.
So, what should done to solve the problem? To remove intext.linknavi1.com you need to review your computer for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:
The first thing I would do to remove intext.linknavi1.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 OS 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 suspect in 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 observing the intext.linknavi1.com status bar messages. Does CheckMeUp appear in the list?
The next thing to check would be your web browser’s add-ons. Potentially unwanted program often appear under the add-ons dialog in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Something that you don’t remember installing? Does CheckMeUp appear among the add-ons?
I think you will be able to track down 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 many years ago. It’s a tool designed to manually track down and remove 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 won’t require you to purchase the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.
And if you’re having a hard time determining if a file is clean or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan report, 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 very useful:
