‘Fastfixpc.be’ Pop-Ups

Posted: September 9, 2015

Fastfixpc.be is a site that may cause you many problems with your PC, so you should avoid it. It promotes fake Java updates, which may turn out to be unsafe. The main problem is that the interface of the page evokes trust. It copies the logo and the style of the actual Java application. Fastfixpc.be even borrows the "Terms and Conditions", which means the visitors may allow the installation of the suggested fake update pretty easily. The fact that the Java programming language is so widely used also may contribute to the download. Many sites nowadays rely on Java, and some of their elements cannot be loaded unless the person has installed the latest available version of Java. To facilitate the visitors, many legitimate sites offer the download to happen from their own pages, which should save the person some time. However, the recommended course of action is to go to the official page of Java to prevent the potential loading of compromised software. The application that fastfixpc.be hosts may be some Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) or adware, so you should leave the domain immediately. It may be easier said than done because fastfixpc.be is associated with a browser hijacker. This add-on takes control of all browsers when it enters, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It places fastfixpc.be as the homepage, and this action is very hard to restore manually. This way, you may be exposed to the dangerous site whenever you launch a web client. To resolve the issue, you need to scan your PC with suitable security software, which will locate and delete the hijacker.
