Posted: January 10, 2012

Fastbrowsersearch.com Screenshot 1Fastbrowsersearch.com is a fake search website that prefers to offer links for its own profit instead of offering links that are useful for your searching interests. In addition to this issue, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have noted that Fastbrowsersearch.com, like many types of fraudulent sites, is also affiliated with browser hijackers that redirect traffic to itself without consent. Since interaction with Fastbrowsersearch.com or links that Fastbrowsersearch.com promotes may result in other attacks against your PC, you should treat a Fastbrowsersearch.com redirect problem with anti-malware programs the moment you catch sight of its symptoms. Browser redirects are often caused by Trojans that have additional functions, and attempting to remove these PC threats by manual methods is discouraged when alternatives are available.

Fastbrowsersearch.com – Leading You Away from Other Search Engines as Fast as It Can Manage

Fastbrowsersearch.com looks like a search engine, but Fastbrowsersearch.com's features don't have anything to do with searching for anything whatsoever, since Fastbrowsersearch.com's web masters know exactly where they want to send visitors. Like Corkingsearchsystem.com, Blendersearch.com, quick-search-results.com, Splendidsearchserver.com, QueryExplorer.com and other types of fraudulent search engines, Fastbrowsersearch.com's one goal is to direct traffic to links that pay back profit to Fastbrowsersearch.com's web masters. Since Fastbrowsersearch.com doesn't use legitimate search methodology and doesn't attempt to block unsafe sites, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers discourage doing anything with Fastbrowsersearch.com except closing its window as soon as it appears.

Typical attacks from a Trojan or rootkit with browser-redirecting capabilities include:

  • Setting Fastbrowsersearch.com to be your default home page.
  • Redirecting your browser to Fastbrowsersearch.com when you click on a link or enter an URL to access other sites (particularly search engines).
  • Poor browser performance; this can include slow responsiveness and a jittery mouse cursor.
  • Pop-ups that display advertisements, fake contests, fake system scans or other types of potentially-malicious content.

The Risks if You Don't Flee from Fastbrowsersearch.com as Fast as You Should

Even if you're not infected with a browser hijacker for Fastbrowsersearch.com, contact with Fastbrowsersearch.com or affiliated sites can result in installation of PC threats via browser exploits (such as script-based vulnerabilities). SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend tandem usage of strong security settings for your web browser as well as the presence of up-to-date anti-malware products to stop these attacks before they can install anything on your computer.

If you've interacted with Fastbrowsersearch.com's search results, you should be aware that fraudulent search engines like Fastbrowsersearch.com are often complicit in promotion of phishing sites and rogue security products, both of which are often used by criminals as additional ways to scam money from infected computers. As a general rule, you should never trust information from sites that are themselves promoted by malicious sites like Fastbrowsersearch.com, and you should only give away personal data (such as your e-mail address) to sites that you've confirmed to be trustworthy.
