Fasttoaccess.com Removal Guide

You are right to be worried about Fasttoaccess.com, and we assume that you are because you have found this article. The chances are that you have found this browser hijacker installed on your default web browser after installing another program or a bundle of programs. Were you surprised to see this hijacker set as your homepage? If you were, it probably was installed silently, without your permission. If you are not surprised that this hijacker is greeting you upon startup, you probably have agreed to the changes yourself. Even if that is the case, this hijacker is still considered unreliable and potentially dangerous, and, needless to say, we still advise removing it from your browsers. The good news is that it is very easy to delete Fasttoaccess.com. The bad news is that you could be in danger while this hijacker is still active. Please continue reading to learn all about this suspicious threat.

The suspicious Fasttoaccess.com uses the famous Google search engine to deliver you search results. Although this search provider is considered trustworthy and useful, in this case, it might be dangerous for you to use it. Just like many other malicious browser hijackers, this one could potentially modify the results shown to you so that you would be exposed to advertisements and links routing to sponsored websites. Legitimate links corresponding to your search queries will be added as well, and you might be able to avoid the unreliable links altogether. All in all, if you trust Google Search, you should set it up instead of Fasttoaccess.com because this hijacker clearly cannot offer you trustworthy search services. Unfortunately, some users will not realize this, and others will ignore the fact that the search tool is not reliable because of the easy-access links provided. Did you know that you can add links to your favorite websites to the bookmarks bar? Another thing you need to be careful about is the banner ads shown on the home page. These ads could be misleading, and that is a good reason to delete the hijacker ASAP.

According to our research, the suspicious Fasttoaccess.com is hosted on the same servers as other identical hijackers, such as stacktrending.com, freewebtrending.com, and topwebclub.com. It is very likely that the same party has created all of these hijackers, and it is not a good sign that there are so many clones because that means that more users can be affected by this malware. Obviously, the intentions of the creator of these hijackers cannot be good. It is most likely that these hijackers are used as advertising and marketing tools. Advertisers can use Fasttoaccess.com or any of its clones to promote their offers and malicious parties can expose users to fake offers, malicious installers, and scams targeted at your wallet. The hijacker could also be used as a data collector because cookies and other data-trackers are likely to be installed along with it to record your virtual activity. This information can be sold to help third-party advertisers deliver more attractive offers.

As long as your operating system is corrupted with malware, you are not safe. Every move you make can be recorded by unpredictable parties. You can be exposed to misleading offers whenever you browse the web. You are also at risk of opening security backdoors and letting in other threats. If you do not remove Fasttoaccess.com from your browsers, it is possible that you will be tricked into downloading useless and malicious software. If you have done this already, you need to take care of potentially existing threats as well. First, scan your operating system to see which threats are active. Then, decide if you can erase them manually or if you should employ automated anti-malware software. If you go with the manual removal option, reset the browsers as shown in the guide below to get rid of Fasttoaccess.com along with data-tracking cookies.
