As mentioned, Search.emailfaster.co usually comes with an extension, and you should be able to download that extension from emailfaster.co/Email?. Here you will say that you have never seen this website in your entire life, and we will believe you. In fact, there are many browser hijackers out there that have official sources, and yet they are not downloaded from the main homepages. How does Search.emailfaster.co enter your system, then?

This browser hijacker belongs to the same group of unwanted applications as Search.youremailnow.com, Search.yourclassifiedscenter.com, Search.yourinterestscenter.com, and others. Thus, it means that it makes use of the same distribution methods, too. All the browser hijackers from this family are known to be spread via annoying pop-ups that are generated by adware and potentially unwanted programs. These programs get installed on the target system before the hijacker enters it. Thus, it means that your system’s security was compromised before your browser settings were modified without your permission.

How do avoid these annoying programs? Stay away from unfamiliar websites and run regular system check-ups with a reliable antispyware tool. If you fail to avoid installing these potential threats, soon your default homepage will be changed to Search.emailfaster.co, and the top bar will display shortcuts to local weather news, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, Hotmail, Google maps, and so on. Technically, this new addition to your browser is supposed to help you “access your emails quicker than ever before! You’ll no longer need to waste time typing in the URL for your Email.”

The question is, though, do you really type the URL when you want to access your Inbox? You probably have a shortcut tab on your browser where you keep all of your main shortcuts, the button that leads you to your inbox included. So, basically, the functionality of this program is highly doubtful and, most probably, unnecessary. Add the browser hijacker to that, and you can tell immediately that you should remove Search.emailfaster.co from your PC ASAP.

If you fail to get rid of this application right now, sooner rather than later, you will be exposed to dangerous content that will redirect you to corrupted websites. Most of the sites will be part of some online marketing scheme, but there will also be cases where you will land on a page that is part of some malware distribution network. If that happens, you will be only one click away from a dangerous infection and the ultimate system crash.
