So don&#8217;t blame the people that owns the website you were at when you first spotted apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net in the status bar. They are apparently not responsible, but from the adware that&#8217;s running on your computer. I&#8217;ll do my best to help you with the <strong>apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net removal<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been spending some time on this blog already know this, but if you are new: Not long ago I dedicated some of my lab machines and intentionally installed a few adware programs on them. I&#8217;ve been monitoring the actions on these computers to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I&#8217;m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware updates itself, or if it installs additional unwanted software on the computers. I first observed the apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net in &#8216;s status bar on one of these lab machines.<\/p>\n<p>apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net resolves to the 23.62.6.139 IP address.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net<\/strong> from your browser? On the machine where apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net showed up in the status bar I had the\u00a0<a title=\"Remove Clock Hand Adware \u2013 Clock Hand Ads Removal Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-clock-hand-adware-clock-hand-ads-removal-guide\/\">ClockHand<\/a>\u00a0adware installed. I removed it with <a title=\"About the FreeFixer removal tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> and that stopped the browser from loading data from apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net.<\/p>\n<p>api.myclockhand.com is also a domain used by ClockHand. It resolves to\u00a08.34.112.75.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s my suggestion for the apimyclockhandco-a.akamaihd.net removal:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What software do you have installed if you look in the Add\/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don&#8217;t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed? Can you see ClockHand there?<\/li>\n<li>You can also check the add-ons you installed in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see something that you don&#8217;t remember installing? Does ClockHand show up in the list?<\/li>\n<li>If that didn&#8217;t solve the problem, I&#8217;d recommend a scan with <a title=\"More info on FreeFixer and download link here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> to manually track down the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I&#8217;m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as 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 <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a> report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2521\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2521 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-1024x291.png\" alt=\"FreeFixer More Info link example\" width=\"604\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-1024x291.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/freefixer-more-info-skype_setup.png 1262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of FreeFixer&#8217;s &#8220;More Info&#8221; links.
