The Fast Email Checker by SaferBrowser is an unreliable toolbar with adware features that you should not install. The user feedback of this suspicious program tends to be very negative. The majority of people prefer to delete the Fast Email Checker application soon after it becomes part of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. As you can judge by its name, the Fast Email Checker is supposed to help you check your email address in a more convenient way. The developers of this adware promise to let you manage all of your accounts from a single place. The toolbar contains buttons that lead to the most popular email providers like AOL, Yahoo and Gmail. While this feature may seem beneficial to the less experienced PC users, the truth is that they can set up bookmarks that will serve the same purpose as the toolbar easily. Another potential problem is that the adware may ask you to enter your email address. Allegedly, this action should help the software determine your provider. In reality, however, it may include your account in various marketing lists. All of a sudden, your inbox may get spammed with large quantities of undesired messages. Just like any other adware, the Fast Email Checker tries to redirect you to the sites of its partners. The toolbar may use different approaches to achieve its goal. The Fast Email Checker may change an array of settings of your Web clients automatically. Once you launch your browser, you may notice the questionable search provider Search.searchfec.com as your new homepage. You should not let the design of this provider trick you that it is legit. The only purpose for the existence of this platform is to show you various sponsored links that lead to its partners. The Fast Email Checker also may generate different pop-ups, banners and in-text ads, which may take a substantial part of your screen for themselves. You should be careful if you decide to explore the deals and daily offers that the Fast Email Checker displays. Security researchers cannot verify that all of the affiliated sites are safe. Some may attempt to trick you or infect your computer with threatening software. The suggested course of action is to eliminate this questionable toolbar with a credible anti-malware solution.
