How do I get rid of Google Analytics pop-ups?

Marked · 04-03-2010, 09:59 AM

Okay so the last probably 2 weeks I've been getting weird Google things where when I'm browsing websites in Firefox (And I believe all my browsers but I'm not certain) Then it pops up a new Window with either http://search.googleanalytics.com and http://results.googlesyndication.com and says Server not found (Or whatever it says when you try to go on the internet when your offline) And recently this has been happening multiple times a day (roughly 6 times) And it's getting really annoying and I don't trust Google very much so how do I make this stop?

Hi,

Does this happen when browsing any website at all, or only with certain website? I would say update your anti-spyware/anti-malware software (if you have any) and try running a scan to see if anything comes up.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Jon.

I get it on pretty much any website. I don't think it is any particular website, I know I've gotten it on Yahoo Answers, And I don't think they would be Associated with Google at all. And I did a scam with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware And got 6 results, But I don't think they have anything to do with it, But I haven't gotten it since the scam though the scam was like 2 hours ago. So it might have fixed it but I don't know.

I really don't think it is an kind of virus. Why would a virus take me to a dead links to Google sites?

Hi,

Do you have any Google-related or -branded software installed on your machine? Try removing it all if there is and see what happens. If you don't have anything like this installed on your machine...I'm stumped.

Regards,

Jon.

Yeah I have Google Earth, Chrome, SketchUp And Gears. I found in Firefox that There is a Gears Extension and in Plug-ins there is an a Google Earth thing and a Google Update. I disabled all of them and haven't had it happen since, But Ill have to see if that lasts.

Hi, Google gears has a compatibility problem with Yahoo toolbar, for the time being loose one of them.( Google gears or if it were me both of them)

Grrr, Still doing it with everything Google related disabled in Firefox. I really don't wanna uninstall all of my Google software. There has to be another way. I gotta believe I'm not the only one having this problem, But I can't find anything like this anywhere on the internet.

Marked · 04-04-2010, 06:46 PM

I might ad that I Reinstalled Firefox a few days ago (Not saving any data at all) Because of it with no luck.

I am having the same problem as MARKED. The blank pop-up which says at bottom of screen, transferring to/connected to/waiting for www.google-analytics/com

It is blocking access to only one website and that is my blog which I try to load to update. It is sooooooo frustrating. I am ok with YouTube and other websites but I can't get into my blog.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Marked, I don't think you are the only one having this problem. I have tried different avenues to sort the problem out but nothing satisfactory. Like you I don't want to uninstall my Google software (as I'm afraid of getting lost in the system). I simply want to be able to log on to my blog (to update) as I was once able to do (until recently). It is so annoying. If you get it sorted please let me know what you did. Many thanks.

I am having this same problem continuously, I have no extra google software, I have no viruses and I'm running OSX on a macbook. Anybody come up with any solid solutions?

lisacee · 06-09-2010, 06:22 AM

I have this same problem and it's driving me nuts. I've had it for more than a month, and I also am getting errors loading pages in Safari, and lots of pop-unders. Running Mac OS X 10.5.8. At one point, I went through my cookies manually and deleted anything and everything I did not recognize -- this was a huge task, but it did seem to work for a while. Now the exact same cluster of problems is back, so I'm assuming it's a site I'm visiting that's dumping something into my system. Let me know if anyone has luck in getting rid of this.

Ok guys, Google Anaytics is is what webmasters / site owners use to track how many visitors they have had plus a whole host of advanced features. most website out there today use this.

It is a piece of code that is placed at the end of a webpage that send stats back to the google servers for the owner of the site to log into later a see the results.

Over the last few days there have been DNS issues affecting the anaytics servers so when you go to a site that is trying to register your visit with the google anaytics servers and cannot find it your browser will just read that as a failed connection etc etc etc.

nothing dodgy, nothing you can do about it either except maybe use hot spot shield temorarily to use different dns servers.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I ran iAntiVirus (seems to be the only free virus scanner to work) on my macbook and found the trojan that was causing it...
It was called Trojan.OSX.DNSChanger.B.
On the google support forums other people with the same problem have found this trojan as well, and upon removing it have found their problem solved.
Obviously Mac are NOT immune to viruses, so get iAntiVirus and scan for this trojan!
