Viruses, malware,
spyware, adware, etc. have multiple ways to attack your system. They may get
into your system through backdoors without coming into your concern, and affect
the data stored on it. Even sometimes they can the reason of the entire system break
down. eFast browser is an adware application which professes to be the Google
Chrome browser. Instead, it is a
customized version of the open-source Chromium web browser. For the user’s
convenience, Google has made Chromium an open-source version of Chrome so that
every user can download, customize, and compile into their browser.
The developers of eFast
misused this open-source project to make the Chrome look-alike tool. The
developers of eFast browser have inserted additional features for overlaying
advertisements into web sites to display pop-up windows with annoying video ads
which may have malicious and irrelevant links. The worse it does after getting installed,
it configures itself as the default browser for web sites and for .gif, .jpeg,
.jpg,.htm, .html,.pdf, .png, .shtml, .webp, .xht, and .xhtml documents, and
much more.
In first look it’ll
look like the normal Chrome browser. But you’ll see the difference while using
it, eFast injects advertisements onto websites as soon as you visit. These advertisements
will be irrelevant and keep on popping regardless even if the original web site
shows advertisements. It opens pop-up windows and display advertisements in
them and many of them pop-up windows also display auto play videos. All the
displaying advertisements that are shown are labeled as Ad by efast_browser, Ads
by Bobrowser, BROUGHT BY efast_browser, etc.
eFast is a deceptive
application and configure itself to start automatically as soon as you login to
Windows. Surely it’s not a useful application and you don’t want it to be on
your computer. It pretends to be Chrome, but it misuses the user’s system to
make its own profit and shows advertisements on web sites even if they are not
relevant. Furthermore, it makes it easy for other unwanted programs to get installed
on your computer. So for the safety of your computer and making it infection
free, it’s very important to eradicate all remnants of the eFast Browser adware
and like such programs.

you can follow the below written instructions. Although this removal process
may appear overwhelming because of the amount of the steps. It’s very easy to remove eFast, but before removing
it, it is advised to print out the written instructions and close all open
programs and files because you have to close the web browser and your computer needs
to be rebooted later in this fix.
