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

Sound familiar? You see njaxjs.me in your browser’s status bar while browsing sites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the njaxjs.me domain show up when performing a search at the Google search engine?

Here is how the njaxjs.me showed up in my network log:

In my case, as you also can see in the Referer field, njaxjs.me loaded while I was on the Google search engine.

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

• Waiting for njaxjs.me…
• Transferring data from njaxjs.me…
• Looking up njaxjs.me…
• Read njaxjs.me
• Connected to njaxjs.me…

If you also see this on your system, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the njaxjs.me domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the web site you were browsing. The njaxjs.me status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the njaxjs.me status bar messages in this blog post.

I found njaxjs.me 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 browsers, injected ads on web site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

njaxjs.me resolves to 167.114.34.238. njaxjs.me was registered on 2014-10-03.

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

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 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 njaxjs.me 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. You can also review the browser add-ons. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that did not 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:

   

Did you find any potentially unwanted program on your machine? Did that stop njaxjs.me? Please post the name of the potentially unwanted program you uninstalled from your machine in the comment below.

Thank you!
