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

Sound familiar? You see i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com in your browser’s status bar while browsing on websites that typically don’t load any content from third party domains. Maybe the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com domain appear when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com status bar message looked like on my computer:

It appeared while I did a search at Google.

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

• Waiting for i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com…
• Transferring data from i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com…
• Looking up i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com…
• Read i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com
• Connected to i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com…

If this description sounds like your computer, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner for the site you were at would be a waste of time. The i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com removal in this blog post.

If you have been visiting this blog already know this, but if you are new: A little while back I dedicated a few of my lab computers and deliberately installed some potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been following the behaviour on these computers to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the potentially unwanted program auto-updates, or if it installs additional potentially unwanted programs on the computers. I first spotted the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab computers.

i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com resolves to the 207.244.65.148 IP address.

So, how do you remove i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com from your browser? On the machine where i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com showed up in the status bar I had TornTV installed. I removed it with FreeFixer and that stopped the web browser from loading data from i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com.

The issue with status bar messages such as this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program running on my computer. 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 i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com removal:

The first thing I would do to remove i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.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 suspicious listed there or something that you don’t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the “Installed On” column to see if something was installed approximately about the same time as you started observing the i_crbsjs_info.tlscdn.com statusbar messages. Does TornTV appear there?

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

I think most users will be able to identify 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 about 8 years ago. It’s a tool built to manually identify and uninstall 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 like many other removal tools out there. It won’t require you to pay for the program just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having a hard time figuring out if a file is clean or potentially unwanted in FreeFixer’s scan report, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up a web page which contains more details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:
