Remove ourstaticdatastorage.com from Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer

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

Did you just see app.ourstaticdatastorage.com or logs.ourstaticdatastorage.com in the status bar of your browser and wonder where it came from? Or did ourstaticdatastorage.com show up while you search for something on one of the big search engines, such as the Google.com search engine?

Here is how the ourstaticdatastorage.com looked in my network log:

ourstaticdatastorage.com connection

I got this while doing a search at Google.

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

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

If this description sounds like what you are seeing, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your computer that makes the ourstaticdatastorage.com domain appear in your browser. Don’t blame the people that runs the site you were at when you first spotted ourstaticdatastorage.com in the status bar. They are probably not responsible, but from the potentially unwanted program that’s installed on your machine. I’ll try help you with the ourstaticdatastorage.com removal in this blog post.

Those that have been reading this blog already know this, but here we go: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab computers and purposely installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I have been monitoring the actions 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 updates itself, or if it downloads and installs additional potentially unwanted programs on the computers. I first noticed the ourstaticdatastorage.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

ourstaticdatastorage.com was created on 2014-02-18. app.ourstaticdatastorage.com resolves to the 69.16.175.10 IP address and ourstaticdatastorage.com to 208.109.4.201. logs.ourstaticdatastorage.com resolves 69.16.175.4.

Update 2015-03-19: Found another subdomain called js.ourstaticdatastorage.com.

Update 2015-03-28: Found another subdomain: stats.ourstaticdatastorage.com.

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

The issue with statusbar messages like this one is that it can be caused by many variants of potentially unwanted programs, not just the potentially unwanted program on my computer. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

To remove ourstaticdatastorage.com you need to check your computer for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove ourstaticdatastorage.com is to examine the programs installed on the machine, by opening the “Uninstall programs” dialog. You can open 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:
Uninstall a program search

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

Do you see something strange-looking 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 observing the ourstaticdatastorage.com status bar messages.

The next thing to check would be your web browser’s add-ons. Potentially unwanted program 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?
Firefox add-ons manager

I think you will be able to track down 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. Freefixer is 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 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 figuring out if a file is safe or potentially unwanted in the FreeFixer scan result, click on the More Info link for the file. That will open up your browser with a page which contains additional information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:

Did you find any potentially unwanted program on your machine? Did that stop ourstaticdatastorage.com? Please post the name of the potentially unwanted program you uninstalled from your machine in the comment below.

This page shows how to remove jsgnr.datafastguru.info, pstatic.datafastguru.info and app.datafastguru.info from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Update 2015-03-13: I’ve also spotted the cwbl.datafastguru.info subdomain in use.

Does this sound familiar? You see datafastguru.info in your web browser’s status bar while browsing web sites that normally don’t load any content from third party domains. Perhaps the datafastguru.info domain appear when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here’s a screenshot of jsgnr.datafastguru.info when it showed up on my computer:

jsgnr.datafastguru.info status bar

Datafastguru.info appeared in the Firefox status bar, while I did a search at Google.se.

Here’s a screenshot of app.datafastguru.info:

Does this sound like what you see on your system, you most likely have some adware installed on your system that makes the jsgnr.datafastguru.info domain appear in your web browser. There’s no use contacting the owners of the site you currently were browsing. The jsgnr.datafastguru.info status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you to remove the jsgnr.datafastguru.info status bar messages in this blog post.

I found jsgnr.datafastguru.info on one of the lab machines where I have some adware running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if something new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on website that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

datafastguru.info was registered on 2013-08-14 and is protected by WhoisProtectService.net. jsgnr.datafastguru.info resolves to the 69.16.175.10 IP address and pstatic.datafastguru.info to 69.16.175.42. app.datafastguru.info resolves to the 54.186.138.39 host.

So, how do you remove jsgnr.datafastguru.info from your browser? On the machine where jsgnr.datafastguru.info showed up in the statusbar I had TinyWallet, BlockAndSurf and BrowserWarden installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from jsgnr.datafastguru.info.

If you are wondering if there are many others out seeing jsgnr.datafastguru.info in the browser, the answer is probably yes. Check out the traffic rank from Alexa:

The issue with status bar messages such as this one is that it can be caused by many variants of adware, not just the adware on my computer. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

So, what can be done? To remove jsgnr.datafastguru.info you need to check your system for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

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 about the same time as you started observing the jsgnr.datafastguru.info statusbar messages.

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

Remove cr.install-daddy.com from Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer

Perhaps the cr.install-daddy.com domain show up when performing a search at the Google.com search engine?

Here’s a screen capture of cr.install-daddy.com when it showed up on my system:

I first noticed the cr.install-daddy.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab computers.

install-daddy.com resolves to 192.31.186.37 and cr.install-daddy.com to the 69.16.175.10 IP address. cr.install-daddy.com was registered on 2013-06-13. Unfortunately I cannot see the WHOIS info, since it is protected by WHOISGUARD, INC.
