eFast Browser - a new adware sample under Chrome

Security experts have discovered a new threat to Chrome Internet users. Despite the fact that Google has strengthened its security to combat these attacks, criminals are constantly changing and adapting their creations, and this new adware has the potential to lead to serious privacy issues and even theft of personal data.

eFast Browser seems to work in a similar way, like many other similar programs that we have encountered in the past. It bombards your browser with obtrusive pop-up windows and redirects you to unwanted websites, and also allows you to track your every movement on the Internet, sending you more and more unpleasant advertisements. However, what makes eFast Browser unique is the fact that, unlike other advertising utilities that are trying to get hold of your current browser, this threat actively changes your current browser, removing Chrome and completely “taking” its place.

This program was developed by Clara Labs, which is also the author of other similar browsers (BoBrowser, Tortuga and Unico). All statements about the legitimacy of the program and the possibility to improve the user experience on the Internet are not supported by the declared functionality. The developers claim that eFast Browser is a legitimate web browser based on Chrome, which allows you to improve the user experience on the Internet by generating more relevant search results, displaying special offers or discounts available in online stores, etc. However, users need to know that applications like adware, which is eFast Browser, are intended solely for developers to receive profits without any concern for the work of users on the Internet.



The most disturbing aspect of this malicious ad application is that it collects information about your work on the Internet and provides it to third parties. Data collected may include personal information.

According to PCrisk , adware is trying to invade your computer, introducing itself to the installers of free programs that are available on various questionable sites. Experts recommend using a two-step process to avoid accidentally installing eFast Browser and other PNPs on your computer.
