What is FastSaler?

FastSaler is an adware app that displays commercial advertisements. But it can also be responsible for a lot of malicious activities, which is why it is also regarded as an infection that you should remove if your PC has been infected with it. The program is currently compatible with the three most popular web browsers -- Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So, if you are using any of these browsers, then this infection should be of concern to you. We recommend that you remove this program, since it is known to promote infected websites. The application is not harmful on its own, but the ads promoted by this app could be, since FastSaler’s developers do not endorse the content they promote.

Where does FastSaler come from?

The origins of this infection are at present still unknown, since the application does not feature any information about its developers like most adware apps do. All that is known about it is that it is similar to OptiShopper, SaferWeb, RocketCoupon, and Smart Ones, among other similar adware apps, which you should also remove. FastSaler and the aforementioned applications are based on the JustPlug it engine, which is a common engine used for low grade adware apps. FastSaler is known to be packed into the InstallRex, Amonetize, and Vittalia installers, which are often featured on torrent websites and other websites that distribute pirated software.

What does FastSaler do?

For the most part, FastSaler displays pop-ups, but it can also display coupons, banners, in-text ads, and so on. It very much depends on how it was programmed. As mentioned, FastSaler is not dangerous on its own, as it is just a program that wastes your computer's resourses. However, since its developers promote to pretty much anyone, there is a significant risk of falling victim to cyber crime, as some advertisements could be fake. You could even reveal your banking credentials by entering them in a fake shopping website. So you should not hesitate to remove FastSaler.
