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

Sound familiar? You see tb.blueresult.com in your browser’s status bar while browsing web sites that generally don’t load any content from third party domains. That’s what happened to me. Here is a screenshot on tb.blueresult.com from my machine:

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

• Waiting for tb.blueresult.com…
• Transferring data from tb.blueresult.com…
• Looking up tb.blueresult.com…
• Read tb.blueresult.com
• Connected to tb.blueresult.com…

If this sounds like what you are seeing on your computer, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your system that makes the tb.blueresult.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the site you were browsing. The tb.blueresult.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you remove the tb.blueresult.com message in this blog post.

Those that have been visiting this blog already know this, but for new visitors: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab machines and deliberately installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. I have been monitoring the behaviour on these machines 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 observed tb.blueresult.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab machines.

tb.blueresult.com resolves to 75.98.9.188.

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

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 system. 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 tb.blueresult.com 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 examine the add-ons that you have in your browser. Same thing here, do you see something 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:
