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

Does this sound like your story? You see kbdadsfast.com in your browser’s status bar while browsing sites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the kbdadsfast.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google search engine?

Here is a screenshot on kbdadsfast.com from my computer:

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

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

If this description sounds like your experience, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the kbdadsfast.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the website you were browsing. The kbdadsfast.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the kbdadsfast.com removal in this blog post.

Those that have been visiting this blog already know this, but here we go: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab computers and intentionally installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I’ve been monitoring the actions on these machines 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 installs additional software on the machines. I first found kbdadsfast.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

kbdadsfast.com was registered on 2014-10-13.

So, how do you remove kbdadsfast.com from your web browser? On the machine where kbdadsfast.com showed up in the status bar I had Movie Wizard, MedPlayerNewVersion and istartsurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from kbdadsfast.com.

Judging from Alexa’s traffic rank, kbdadsfast.com is getting quite a lot of traffic:

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 system. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the statusbar messages.

So, what should done to solve the problem? To remove kbdadsfast.com you need to review your system for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

1. Examine what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
2. You can also review the browser add-ons. Same thing here, do you see something 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:
