How to eliminate the advertisements displayed by fast-travel.org site?

What is fast-travel[.]org?

Fast-travel[.]org is a rogue webpage designed to load dubious content and/or redirect to various (likely unreliable or malicious) sites. The Internet is rife with such pages; tionalmorei.online, expensivesurvey.live, offersworld4u.online, and boffero.com are but some examples.

Users usually access rogue sites via redirects caused by untrustworthy websites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Fast-travel[.]org in detail

Whether visitors to fast-travel[.]org are presented with dubious content and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their IP addresses/ geolocations. Additionally, most rogue pages use deceptive content to lure users into allowing their browser notifications.

This applies to fast-travel[.]org as well; it employs fake CAPTCHA verification for this purpose. Should users be tricked, they will inadvertently enable fast-travel[.]org to deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed ads pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked on, the advertisements redirect to unreliable/malicious websites, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Potentially unwanted application overview

PUAs appear harmless, and they offer various "handy" functionalities that are seldom operational. What is more, these apps usually have harmful abilities, e.g., force-opening webpages, running intrusive advert campaigns, hijacking browsers, and gathering private information. To summarize, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated using the "bundling" marketing method - packing ordinary programs with various additions. Rushed downloads/installations increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the device. Intrusive ads also spread PUAs. Upon being clicked, the adverts can execute scripts to make stealthy downloads/installations. Some PUAs may have "official" promotional/download sites as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software and download only from official/verified channels. Dubious sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and hazardous content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all additions. Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary, yet they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).

In case of encounters with adverts and/or redirects of this kind, the device must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
