‘Everythingfastagain.link’ Pop-Ups

The 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups are phishing attacks that may provide fraudulent security information to force computer users into contacting a con artist. Such activities may culminate collecting information, taking money or further compromising the safety of your PC. Malware researchers recommend treating the Everythingfastagain.link as a threatening website, and the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups as browser attacks that should be removed with anti-malware tools, as appropriate.

Heading Fast into Another Web Scam

Although increasing public mindfulness of PC security issues is an overall positive, con artists and Web-based threat actors also may take advantage of this shift in popular perception. One of the most common, generally non-targeted methods of exploiting this shift in the cultural zeitgeist is with PC security hoaxes that one can see in attacks like the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups. The campaign for Everythingfastagain.link Pop-Ups only recently provided clear evidence, although the underlying website has a registration date from July.

The 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups are phishing tactics that may deliver fake system information, such as warnings about the state of your .NET Framework, through your Web browser. Although these warning messages reference real Windows architecture, they aren't correlated with any legitimate hardware or software failure issues. Unlike legitimate Windows warnings, the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups exist primarily for promoting their fraudulent hotlines, such as 888-603-4618.
Computer users that call this hotline to 'repair' their computers may subject themselves to other attacks, at the con artist's discretion. Some of the usual consequences malware experts see in phishing tactics may include:

• An attempted exfiltration of credit card data, money or identity-related information.
• The sale of fraudulent PC repair or security products.
• In worst case scenarios, third parties may try to modify your PC to allow them to access it remotely, changing settings at will. This backdoor connection is a common means of collecting information, blocking security features or installing threats.

Turning an Everything Hoax into a nothing Profit Margin

The 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups have associated themselves with compromised advertising networks, adware and browser-modifying threats, such as browser hijackers. Their attacks may trigger randomly or, in most cases when the computer user browses a popular website (such as Facebook). Because sources of the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups typically aren't embedded in the Web page, normal advertisement-blocking software and features are unlikely to be effective at blocking the messages.
Any efforts towards removing the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups should conduct themselves by standard threat removal guidelines. Restart your computer in Safe Mode and scan it with anti-malware tools capable of identifying threats that would be capable of generating the 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups, or modifying your browser's settings. Once all system scans found no additional threats, you can restart your computer and resume browsing the Web without any contact from this hoax.

Although some 'Everythingfastagain.link' pop-ups templates reference Microsoft, the company has no known affiliation with this pop-up campaign. The associated website's owner masks his or her identity via a third-party privacy service, with all business geographical information pointing to Panama.
