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

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

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

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

If this sounds like what you are seeing on your computer, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the ots.wordewgiagre.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 ots.wordewgiagre.com status bar messages. I’ll do my best to help you remove the ots.wordewgiagre.com message in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab machines and deliberately installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been monitoring the actions on these computers to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program updates itself, or if it installs additional potentially unwanted programs on the machines. I first noticed the ots.wordewgiagre.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab computers.

ots.wordewgiagre.com resolves to 81.95.152.220.

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

The issue with status bar messages such as this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

To remove ots.wordewgiagre.com you need to review your system for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove ots.wordewgiagre.com is to examine the software installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can open this dialog from the Windows Control Panel. If you are using one of the more recent versions of Windows Operating System 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 strange-looking 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 seeing the ots.wordewgiagre.com status bar messages.

Then you can examine you browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted program often appear under the add-ons menu in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

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 about 8 years ago. Freefixer is a tool designed to manually find and remove unwanted software. When you’ve identified 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 pay for the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having problems deciding if a file is legit 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 additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
