There&#8217;s no use contacting the owners of the website you currently were browsing. The ourinputdatastorage.com status bar messages are not coming from them. I&#8217;ll try help you with the <strong>ourinputdatastorage.com removal<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>I found ourinputdatastorage.com on one of the lab machines where I have some adware running. I&#8217;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 anything new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the web browsers, injected ads on site that usually don&#8217;t show advertisements, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.<\/p>\n<p>ourinputdatastorage.com was registered on 2014-02-18. ourinputdatastorage.com resolves to the 208.109.4.201 IP address and <strong>app.ourinputdatastorage.com<\/strong> to 69.16.175.42. I also noticed <strong>logs.ourinputdatastorage.com<\/strong> in the network log, and that resolves to\u00a069.16.175.10.\u00a0ourinputdatastorage.com is protected by <strong>Domains By Proxy LLC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a>, the following subdomains has also been spotted in the wild:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>js.ourinputdatastorage.com<\/li>\n<li>update.ourinputdatastorage.com<\/li>\n<li>dl.ourinputdatastorage.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove ourinputdatastorage.com<\/strong> from your web browser? On the machine where ourinputdatastorage.com showed up in the status bar I had <a title=\"Remove TornPlusTV Adware \u2013 TornPlusTV_version1.11 Removal Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-tornplustv-tornplustv_version1-11\/\">TornTV<\/a> installed. I removed it with <a title=\"Read more on FreeFixer here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> and that stopped the browser from loading data from ourinputdatastorage.com.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with status bar messages like the one described in this blog post is that it can be caused by many variants of adware, not just the adware running on my computer. I think that many of the other CrossRider variants will use this domain. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the status bar messages.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s my suggestion for the ourinputdatastorage.com 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?<\/li>\n<li>How about your add-ons that you have in your browser. Anything in the list that you don&#8217;t remember installing?<\/li>\n<li>If that didn&#8217;t solve the problem, I&#8217;d recommend a scan with <a title=\"Read more on FreeFixer 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.
