FastClickNow.com

Posted: October 9, 2013

FastClickNow.com is an advertisement tracking site that monitors traffic before it's redirected to appropriate advertisements. While conclusive samples for advertisements related to FastClickNow.com's business functions remain elusive, some suspicious history associated with FastClickNow.com have been confirmed, including a tendency for FastClickNow.com to be promoted by adware-based pop-up attacks and the fact that FastClickNow.com is classified as unsafe by a minority of reputable PC security institutions. Until new information on FastClickNow.com comes into public view, you should interact with FastClickNow.com-related advertisements with high caution and, as always, use anti-malware tools to delete the adware programs that may be responsible for delivering FastClickNow.com advertisements to your computer.

Why Clicking Too Fast Can Make You See FastClickNow.com More Than You'd Like

FastClickNow.com has been categorized as an unreliable site by some PC security companies and may be involved in the distribution of low-level PC threats or other Web-based security hazards, but malware experts haven't verified any evidence of FastClickNow.com being used to distribute high-level PC threats in widely-targeted campaigns. As a site devoted to tracking the Web traffic for third party advertisements, FastClickNow.com also may be considered invasive of your privacy, which may be a concern to some PC users. Fortunately, protection from such privacy invasion is readily available through basic browser features and plugins, including advertisement blockers, pop-up blockers and disabled scripts.

Along with its mildly disreputable history, FastClickNow.com also has been confirmed to be the occasional beneficiary of adware attacks that display advertisements through pop-ups and other browser-modifying functions. FastClickNow.com usually will mark its content as being separate from that of the site that you're visiting, which should allow you to identify the presence of this adware even when no obvious program files are being shown. As usual, adware only should be suspected to be behind FastClickNow.com advertisements if these advertisements begin displaying from many different websites, from sites that you're certain shouldn't be showing any advertisements or while your browser isn't open.

Infection vectors for FastClickNow.com adware haven't been fully analyzed, but are likely to include freeware 'bundlers' that package several applications together in a single installer (without necessarily informing you of that fact).

Clicking Your Way out of FastClickNow.com Pop-Ups

If FastClickNow.com pop-ups start displaying in ways that make it reasonable to suspect the presence of adware on your PC, you should consider your computer compromised until anti-malware products can be put to work removing the FastClickNow.com adware and any other PC threats that may have been installed along with FastClickNow.com. FastClickNow.com adware isn't affiliated with individual browser add-ons and usually will be installed without any due warning, with all relevant program files concealed to stop you from deleting them.

Although exposure to FastClickNow.com advertisements or even interaction with such an advertisement doesn't necessarily cause any direct harm to your computer, you still should engage with FastClickNow.com only with all appropriate caution. Disabling Web features that could be used against your computer (such as JavaScript) and refusing to give companies promoted through FastClickNow.com your personal information are two major ways of keeping your PC safe from any possible attacks that could be delivered through this website, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts always recommend them.
