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

Does this sound like what you are seeing right now? You see t.mtagmonetizationb.com in your web browser’s status bar or in the network log while browsing websites that in general don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the t.mtagmonetizationb.com domain show up when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here is a screenshot on t.mtagmonetizationb.com from my computer, when it showed up in my network log:

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

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

Does this sound like what you are seeing, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the t.mtagmonetizationb.com domain appear in your web browser. Contacting the owner of the web site you were browsing would be a waste of time. They are not responsible for the t.mtagmonetizationb.com status bar messages. I’ll do my best to help you with the t.mtagmonetizationb.com removal in this blog post.

Those that have been spending some time on this blog already know this, but for new visitors: A little while back I dedicated a few of my lab computers and wilfully installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. I have been following the actions on these computers 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 systems. I first found t.mtagmonetizationb.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab machines.

t.mtagmonetizationb.com resolves to 54.192.194.190. t.mtagmonetizationb.com was created on 2015-03-24.

So, how do you remove t.mtagmonetizationb.com from your browser? On the machine where t.mtagmonetizationb.com showed up in the status bar I had NetMon and Jelbrus Secure Web installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from t.mtagmonetizationb.com.

The problem 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 statusbar messages.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the t.mtagmonetizationb.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove t.mtagmonetizationb.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:

Click on the “Uninstall a program” link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:

Do you see something suspect 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 getting the t.mtagmonetizationb.com status bar messages.

Then I would check the browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons menu in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to find 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’ve developed since 2006. It’s a tool designed to manually find and uninstall 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 will not require you to pay for the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having a mess determining if a file is legitimate or potentially unwanted in the FreeFixer scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up a web page which contains more information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
