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

Did you just see yaa.blfyuefyset.com in the status bar or the network log of your web browser and wonder where it came from? Or did yaa.blfyuefyset.com show up while you search for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?

Here is how the yaa.blfyuefyset.com connection looked like on my machine when I examined the network log:

The connection was done while I did a Google search. I’ve noticed that other bloggers say that pop-ups are loaded from this domain, but I have not seen any yet when I tested it. However, there were lots of pop-ups from http://yxo.warmportrait.com.

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

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

Does this sound like your experience, you probably have some adware installed on your system that makes the yaa.blfyuefyset.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the site owner would be a waste of time. The yaa.blfyuefyset.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll try help you with the yaa.blfyuefyset.com removal in this blog post.

For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab computers and knowingly installed some adware programs on them. I have been monitoring the actions on these machines to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional unwanted software on the machines. I first found the yaa.blfyuefyset.com in Mozilla Firefox’s status bar on one of these lab machines.

yaa.blfyuefyset.com was registered on 2015-01-05. yaa.blfyuefyset.com resolves to the 5.153.38.134 IP address. The domain is protected by WHOISGUARD, INC.

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

The yaa.blfyuefyset.com domain is attracting quite a lot of traffic, just check out the Alexa traffic rank:

The issue with this type of status bar message is that it can be caused by many variants of adware, not just the adware running on my computer. I think that adware such as SaferSurf, NewPlayer, BlockAndSurf and SpeedCheck can also be responsible for yaa.blfyuefyset.com appearing in the browser. And there are probably other variants too. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

To remove yaa.blfyuefyset.com you need to examine your machine for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

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 check the web browser add-ons. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that does not help, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer to manually track down the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as web 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:

Here is a screen capture on guy.brifyghfytify.com from my machine when it appeared in my network log, while I did a search at the Google search engine:

If you also see this on your computer, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the guy.brifyghfytify.com domain appear in your browser. So there’s no use contacting the owner of the site you were browsing. The guy.brifyghfytify.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the guy.brifyghfytify.com removal in this blog post.

I found guy.brifyghfytify.com on one of the lab computers where I have some potentially unwanted programs running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The potentially unwanted programs 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.

guy.brifyghfytify.com resolves to the 5.153.38.134 IP address. guy.brifyghfytify.com was created on 2015-01-05. The domain is protected by WhoisGuard INC.

So, how do you remove guy.brifyghfytify.com from your browser? On the machine where guy.brifyghfytify.com showed up in the status bar I had TinyWallet, BrowserWarden and BlockAndSurf installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from guy.brifyghfytify.com.

The bad news 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 statusbar messages.

So, what can be done to solve the problem? To remove guy.brifyghfytify.com you need to review your system for potentially unwanted programs and uninstall them. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

The first thing I would do to remove guy.brifyghfytify.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 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 dubious listed 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 seeing the guy.brifyghfytify.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 menu in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there anything that looks suspicious? Anything that you don’t remember installing?

I think most users will be able to find 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. It’s a tool built to manually find and remove unwanted software. When you’ve identified 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 a fee just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.

And if you’re having a hard time determining if a file is clean 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 details about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be quite useful:

If you have been reading this blog already know this, but if you are new: Some time ago I dedicated a few of my lab machines and knowingly installed a few adware programs on them. Since then I have been monitoring the behaviour on these machines to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself automatically, or if it downloads additional unwanted software on the machines. 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.

So, how do you remove cr.install-daddy.com from your web browser? On the machine where cr.install-daddy.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 cr.install-daddy.com.

The problem with this type of status bar message is that, or at least I think so, it can be caused by many variants of adware, not just TornTV. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.

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

I think you will be able to track down and uninstall the adware with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the FreeFixer removal tool to identify and remove the adware.
