Remove omr.topfyspafyce.com From Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer

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

Did you just see omr.topfyspafyce.com in the status bar of your browser and ponder where it came from? Or did omr.topfyspafyce.com show up while you search for something on one of the big search engines, such as the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the omr.topfyspafyce.com looked in my network log:

omr.topfyspafyce.com connection

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

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

Does this sound like your machine, you most likely have some adware installed on your machine that makes the omr.topfyspafyce.com domain appear in your browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the web site you currently were browsing. The omr.topfyspafyce.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you remove the omr.topfyspafyce.com message in this blog post.

I found omr.topfyspafyce.com on one of the lab machines where I have some adware running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware 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 site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

omr.topfyspafyce.com was created on 2015-01-05. omr.topfyspafyce.com resolves to the 5.153.38.133 address. The domain is protected by Whoisguard INC.

So, how do you remove omr.topfyspafyce.com from your browser? On the machine where omr.topfyspafyce.com showed up in the status bar I had TinyWallet, BlockAndSurf and BrowserWarden installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from omr.topfyspafyce.com.

The issue with status bar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of adware. 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 omr.topfyspafyce.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove omr.topfyspafyce.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 in there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if some program was installed about the same time as you started observing the omr.topfyspafyce.com status bar messages.

The next thing to check would be your browser’s add-ons. Adware 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?
Firefox add-ons manager

I think you will be able to track down and uninstall the adware with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the FreeFixer removal tool to identify and remove the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I started develop about 8 years ago. Freefixer is a tool built to manually find 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 crippled 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 difficulties figuring out if a file is clean or adware in FreeFixer’s scan report, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up a web page which contains additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
