Search.emailfaster.co Redirect

What is search.emailfaster.co?

Email Faster is presented as a legitimate application that allows users to quickly access their emails. These claims often trick users into believing that Email Faster is a legitimate application, however, this app is often distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called "bundling".

Furthermore, Email Faster continually causes unwanted browser redirects, displays intrusive online advertisements, and collects information relating to users' Internet browsing activity. For these reasons, Email Faster is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.

This bogus application hijacks Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox), modifying the default search engine, new tab URL, and homepage settings by assigning them to search.emailfaster.co.

Many users believe that this behavior is insignificant, however, they are unable to revert these changes, since Email Faster automatically reassign settings when attempts are made to change them. Therefore, returning browsers to their previous states becomes impossible.

When users open a new browsing tab or attempt to search the Internet via the URL bar, they encounter unwanted redirects to search.emailfaster.co, significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience. Furthermore, Email Faster delivers intrusive online advertisements that conceal underlying content of various websites, and might also redirect to infectious sites.

Clicking these ads will result in high-risk adware or malware infections. Email Faster tracks Internet browsing activity by recording search queries, websites visited, pages viewed, IP addresses, and other similar information that might contain private details.

SaferBrowser (developers of Email Faster) share this gathered data with cooperating third parties who misuse it to generate revenue. Thus, the presence of an information-tracking app on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly recommend that you eliminate the Email Faster browser hijacker immediately.

There are dozens of applications identical to Email Faster including My News Wire, My Recipes XP, and The Weather Center - these are just some examples from a long list. SaferBrowser aims to generate as much revenue as possible and, thus, releases identical applications under different names.

These apps offer different functions, however, all have identical behavior. Rather than providing any of the functions promised, Email Faster, and other SaferBrowser products, cause unwanted browser redirects, gather private data, and deliver intrusive online advertisements.

How did search.emailfaster.co install on my computer?

Although Email Faster has an official download website, many users install it without their consent. This is due to a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of potentially unwanted programs with regular software. Developers know that users often rush the download/installation processes and skip most steps.

Therefore, they intentionally hide bundled programs within the "Custom/Advanced" settings. By skipping this section, users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Most PUPs are distributed using the bundling method. Therefore, the key to computer safety is caution. Never rush when downloading and installing software - select the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings and carefully analyze each step. Furthermore, decline all offers to download/install additional applications and opt-out of those already included.
