So don&#8217;t write angry emails to the web site you were browsing, the adverts are most likely not coming from them, but from the adware on your computer. I&#8217;ll do my best to help you with the <strong>chachagong27.com removal<\/strong> in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been reading this blog already know this, but if you are new: Recently I dedicated a few of my lab computers and wilfully installed a few adware programs on them. I have been monitoring the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I&#8217;m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware auto-updates, or if it downloads additional unwanted software on the computers. I first noticed the chachagong27.com pop-up on one of these lab machines.<\/p>\n<p>chachagong27.com was created on 2015-11-12. chachagong23.com resolves to 104.31.87.127 and chachagong27.com to the 104.18.49.154 IP address.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s actually a bunch of domains of the same kind.\u00a0Some of these are registered, some are not, but I will not be surprised if the non-registered domains will appear in pop ups too in the future:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>chachagong1.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong2.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong3.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong4.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong5.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong6.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong7.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong8.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong9.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong10.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong11.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong12.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong13.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong14.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong15.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong16.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong17.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong18.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong19.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong20.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong21.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong22.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong23.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong24.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong25.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong26.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong27.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong28.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong29.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong30.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong31.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong32.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong33.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong34.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong35.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong36.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong37.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong38.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong39.com<\/li>\n<li>\u0003chachagong40.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, how do you <strong>remove the chachagong27.com pop-up ads<\/strong>? On the machine where I got the chachagong27.com ads I had <a title=\"cpm.exe, CPUMiner and &quot;LLC Kelte-Proekt&quot; - Removal Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/cpm-exe-cpuminer-and-llc-kelte-proekt-removal-instructions\/\">CPUMiner<\/a>, <a title=\"Remove Pine Tree Ads - PineTree Adware Removal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-pine-tree-ads-pinetree-adware-removal\/\">PineTree<\/a> and <a title=\"How To Remove GamesDesktop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/how-to-remove-gamesdesktop\/\">GamesDesktop<\/a> installed. I removed them with <a title=\"About the FreeFixer removal tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> and that stopped the chachagong27.com pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>The chachagong23.com domain is attracting quite a lot of traffic, just check out the Alexa traffic rank:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/chachagong.com-pop-up.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8052\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/chachagong.com-pop-up.png\" alt=\"chachagong**.com pop up\" width=\"532\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/chachagong.com-pop-up.png 532w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/chachagong.com-pop-up-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The problem with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be initiated by many variants of adware, not just the adware that&#8217;s installed on my machine. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>So, what should done to solve the problem? To remove the chachagong27.com pop-up ads you need to review your system for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here&#8217;s my suggested removal procedure:<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I would do to <strong>remove the chachagong27.com pop-ups<\/strong> is to examine the programs installed on the machine, by opening the &#8220;Uninstall programs&#8221; 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 &#8220;uninstall&#8221; in the Control Panel&#8217;s search field to find that dialog:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2849\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png\" alt=\"Uninstall a program search\" width=\"471\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search.png 471w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-search-300x102.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click on the &#8220;<strong>Uninstall a program<\/strong>&#8221; link and the Uninstall programs dialog will open up:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2853\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png\" alt=\"Uninstall a program dialog\" width=\"356\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog.png 356w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Uninstall-a-program-dialog-300x245.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you see something shady listed there or something that you don&#8217;t remember installing? Tip: Sort on the &#8220;<strong>Installed On<\/strong>&#8221; column to see if something was installed about the same time as you started seeing the chachagong27.com pop-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Then I would check the browser add-ons. Adware often show up under the add-ons menu in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Is there something that looks suspicious? Anything that you don&#8217;t remember installing?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2927 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager-300x190.png\" alt=\"Firefox add-ons manager\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Firefox-add-ons-manager.png 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think most users will be able to find and uninstall the adware with the steps outlined above, but in case that did not work you can try the <a title=\"FreeFixer is freeware.

FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I started develop about 8 years ago. It&#8217;s a tool built to manually find and remove unwanted software. When you&#8217;ve tracked down the unwanted files you can simply tick a checkbox and click on the Fix button to remove the unwanted file.<\/p>\n<p>FreeFixer&#8217;s removal feature is not locked 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.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re having difficulties determining if a file is safe or adware in the FreeFixer scan result, click on the <strong>More Info<\/strong> link for the file.
