This page shows how to remove gal.adviceoncarsse.com from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Did you just see gal.adviceoncarsse.com in the status bar of your web browser and wonder where it came from? Or did gal.adviceoncarsse.com show up while you search for something on one of the major search engines, such as the Google search engine?
Here’s a screen capture of gal.adviceoncarsse.com when it showed up on my computer, in the network log, while I did a search at Google.se:
The following are some of the statusbar messages you may see in your browser’s status bar:
- Waiting for gal.adviceoncarsse.com…
- Transferring data from gal.adviceoncarsse.com…
- Looking up gal.adviceoncarsse.com…
- Read gal.adviceoncarsse.com
- Connected to gal.adviceoncarsse.com…
If this description sounds like your computer, you probably have some potentially unwanted program installed on your machine that makes the gal.adviceoncarsse.com domain appear in your browser. Contacting the owner of the website you were browsing would be a waste of time. They are not responsible for the gal.adviceoncarsse.com status bar messages. I’ll do my best to help you remove the gal.adviceoncarsse.com message in this blog post.
For those that are new to the blog: Not long ago I dedicated a few of my lab computers and intentionally installed a few potentially unwanted programs on them. Since then I’ve been observing 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 potentially unwanted program updates itself automatically, or if it downloads and installs additional potentially unwanted programs on the machines. I first noticed the gal.adviceoncarsse.com in Mozilla Firefox’s statusbar on one of these lab systems.
gal.adviceoncarsse.com was created on 2014-12-02. gal.adviceoncarsse.com resolves to 50.22.215.30. A Whois query does not offer much information, since the domain is protected by by WhoisGuard INC.
So, how do you remove gal.adviceoncarsse.com from your browser? On the machine where gal.adviceoncarsse.com showed up in the status bar I had PriceFountain, YTDownloader, WebWaltz and SpeedChecker installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the browser from loading data from gal.adviceoncarsse.com.
Most likely, WebWaltz was responsible for the gal.adviceoncarsse.com connection, since the loaded URL mentions “web waltz”, as shown in the screenshot above.
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 system. 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 gal.adviceoncarsse.com removal:
The first thing I would do to remove gal.adviceoncarsse.com is to examine the software 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 OS 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 in 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 seeing the gal.adviceoncarsse.com status bar messages.
The next thing to check would be your browser’s add-ons. Potentially unwanted program often appear under the add-ons menu in Chrome, Firefox, 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 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 started develop many years ago. It’s a tool designed to manually track down 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 like many other removal tools out there. It won’t require you to pay a fee just when you are about to remove the unwanted files.
And if you’re having issues deciding 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 additional information about the file. On that web page, check out the VirusTotal report which can be very useful:
