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

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

Here’s a screenshot of vlv.retypingebbtide.com in the network log when it showed up on my machine:

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

• Waiting for vlv.retypingebbtide.com…
• Transferring data from vlv.retypingebbtide.com…
• Looking up vlv.retypingebbtide.com…
• Read vlv.retypingebbtide.com
• Connected to vlv.retypingebbtide.com…

If this description sounds like your machine, you most likely have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the vlv.retypingebbtide.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the web site you currently were browsing. The vlv.retypingebbtide.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you remove the vlv.retypingebbtide.com message in this blog post.

If you have been spending some time on this blog already know this, but if you are new: A little while back I dedicated some of my lab systems and deliberately installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. I’ve been tracking the actions on these computers to see what kinds of adverts, if any, that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program auto-updates, or if it downloads additional software on the machines. I first noticed vlv.retypingebbtide.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab systems.

vlv.retypingebbtide.com was created on 2015-07-30. vlv.retypingebbtide.com resolves to the 37.58.80.221 IP address. According to DomainTools, clanspeace.com and loadk.net are also located on the same IP.

So, how do you remove vlv.retypingebbtide.com from your browser? On the machine where vlv.retypingebbtide.com showed up in the status bar I had Web Bar, SpeeditApp and Web United installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from vlv.retypingebbtide.com.

The issue with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post 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 vlv.retypingebbtide.com you need to examine your computer for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove vlv.retypingebbtide.com is to examine the programs installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can reach 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 suspicious listed there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if some program was installed about the same time as you started seeing the vlv.retypingebbtide.com status bar messages.

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

I think most users will be able to track down and remove 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 many years ago. It’s a tool built to manually find 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 locked down 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 troubles determining if a file is legitimate or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your browser with a page which contains additional details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
