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

Did you just see pstatic.bestpriceninja.com in the status bar of your browser and wonder where it came from? Or did pstatic.bestpriceninja.com show up while you searched for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?

Here is a screen-cap on pstatic.bestpriceninja.com from my machine’s network log:

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

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

If you also see this on your computer, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the pstatic.bestpriceninja.com domain appear in your web browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the web site you were browsing. The pstatic.bestpriceninja.com status bar notifications are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the pstatic.bestpriceninja.com statusbar messages in this blog post.

I found pstatic.bestpriceninja.com 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 site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

pstatic.bestpriceninja.com was created on 2015-04-27. bestpriceninja.com resolves to the 104.20.31.52 IP address and so does pstatic.bestpriceninja.com.

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

The problem with status bar messages like 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 pstatic.bestpriceninja.com you need to review your machine 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 anything that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
2. How about your add-ons you have in your browsers. Anything in the list 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:
