This page shows how to remove uvg.chatefgiagsh.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Did you just see uvg.chatefgiagsh.com in the status bar of your web browser and wonder where it came from? Or did uvg.chatefgiagsh.com show up while you searched for something on one of the big search engines, such as the Google search engine?
Here are some of the status bar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:
- Waiting for uvg.chatefgiagsh.com…
- Transferring data from uvg.chatefgiagsh.com…
- Looking up uvg.chatefgiagsh.com…
- Read uvg.chatefgiagsh.com
- Connected to uvg.chatefgiagsh.com…
If this sounds like what you are seeing on your machine, you presumably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the uvg.chatefgiagsh.com domain appear in your web browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the website you currently were browsing. The uvg.chatefgiagsh.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the uvg.chatefgiagsh.com status bar messages in this blog post.
Those that have been reading this blog already know this, but for new visitors: Recently I dedicated some of my lab systems and deliberately installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been monitoring the behaviour 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 downloads and installs additional software on the machines. I first spotted uvg.chatefgiagsh.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab computers.
uvg.chatefgiagsh.com was created on 2015-03-18. uvg.chatefgiagsh.com resolves to 81.95.152.220.
So, how do you remove uvg.chatefgiagsh.com from your browser? On the machine where uvg.chatefgiagsh.com showed up in the status bar I had SalePlus, IStart 5.3.7 and YouTubeAdBlocke installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from uvg.chatefgiagsh.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 status bar messages.
Anyway, here’s my suggestion for the uvg.chatefgiagsh.com removal:
The first thing I would do to remove uvg.chatefgiagsh.com is to examine the programs 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 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 listed there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if some program was installed approximately about the same time as you started seeing the uvg.chatefgiagsh.com statusbar messages.
Then you can examine you web browser add-ons. Potentially unwanted programs often show up under the add-ons menu in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there something that looks suspicious? Something that you don’t remember installing?
I think you will be able to identify 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 built to manually identify and remove 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 will not 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 safe or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s 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:
