What is Login Faster?
If your new tab page, start page, or default search provider was switched with a questionable search engine called Search.searchlff.com, you most likely encountered a browser hijacker known as Login Faster. The application is a browser extension, and according to its description, it should help users log in into their email accounts faster. Unfortunately, what you actually get is modified browser settings and a useless additional toolbar that provides a couple of links to popular web pages. If you visit such sites often, you probably already have them on your bookmarks bar, so another toolbar might seem simply too much. If you are not happy with the application, you should think no more and delete the extension immediately as it is not a reliable piece of software. We will talk about this later in the text; thus, we urge you to continue reading to learn more. At the end of the article, you will also find removal instructions explaining how to eliminate Login Faster manually.
Where does Login Faster come from?
The browser hijacker could both travel with bundled installers or doubtful pop-up advertisements. Either way, if you came across Login Faster and Search.searchlff.com, it might be best to check if more suspicious tools did not manage to enter the system. In fact, if you installed the add-on while clicking questionable pop-ups, there is a change there were already unreliable applications on the system, e.g. adware, potentially unwanted programs, and so on since they could have displayed such ads. If you want to check the system manually, we would advise you to open Control Panel and the default browser’s extensions manager to review recently installed applications or software raising suspicion. If the task looks too complicated, you could use a legitimate antimalware tool instead. Just perform a full system scan, and the tool should detect possible threats automatically.
How does Login Faster work?
As soon as the extension is added, Login Faster should place the mentioned toolbar. Moreover, it might modify particular files belonging to your browser to make it load Search.searchlff.com each time you open a new tab page, load the browser, or search the Internet. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com believe the add-on could be acting this way to convince the user to browse with Search.searchlff.com. It appears to be this search engine might be unreliable as it may show user’s altered yahoo.com results. In other words, the browser hijacker could inject the results with advertisements from the software’s third-party associates. In exchange for advertising third-party content, Login Faster developers might get payment for each ad that is clicked by the user. Sadly, this deal is not beneficial for you at all since by clicking the ads you could get redirected to possibly malicious web pages, e.g. sites distributing adware, potentially unwanted programs, different hijackers, or even malicious threats, such as viruses, Trojans, etc. Therefore, we would advise against such suspicious search engine’s usage. We would recommend removing the extension too since it is not only useless, but it also brought you this questionable search tool.
How to get rid of Login Faster?
First of all, the application could be erased through the extensions manager as it is shown in the first part of the instructions placed below the text. After Login Faster is eliminated, you should be able to change modified browser settings back again. However, if Search.searchlff.com keeps coming back, you might need to reset the browser as it is shown in the second part of the instructions located below.
