Where does Fast Browser come from?
When we deal with potentially unwanted programs, we usually find that they have official homepages with working direct download links. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about Fast Browser. For one, it would be highly unlikely that anyone would want to download Fast Browser directly, so the browser does not have an official homepage.
Our research shows that Fast Browser usually comes in software packages, so there is a good reason you are strongly advised to scan your PC with a computer security tool. If Fast Browser comes bundled with freeware, it is not the only unwanted program you need to remove immediately.
Considering that Fast Browser is based on the Chromium engine, it could be related to the Internet Quick Access browser, but the association is hard to confirm because the developer behind this browser hijacker is unknown. The name of the developer is also Fast Browser, so there is no way to check where this program comes from exactly unless we carry out an in-depth research.
Either way, the best way to avoid installing Fast Browser on your PC is staying away from third-party file sharing websites. Keep in mind that freeware applications that are available for download at such websites are often bundled with additional software you neither need nor want.
What does Fast Browser do?
Albeit the browser is not a malicious infection, it can be quite intrusive. For example, when you install Fast Browser on your PC, it sets itself as your default browser without even asking for permission. The next time you turn on your computer, Fast Browser starts automatically and loads the safesear.ch website. This website is set as its default homepage and search engine. We would strongly recommend against using this search engine because it is obviously related to various online marketing schemes.
It is very likely that you will see a lot of pop-up ads on your screen, and you will be shown tailored search results. This will happen as long as you use Fast Browser. Not only is this annoying, but it could also prove to be quite risky as well, so you have to terminate Fast Browser today.
How do I remove Fast Browser?
Fortunately, it is not complicated to remove Fast Browser from your system on your own. This browser has an entry in the list of installed programs, so you can delete it through Control Panel. While you are at it, please get rid of other potential threats and safeguard your PC against similar intruders.
