Hello there. Today I wanted to talk about an adware <\/strong> named FasterLight<\/strong> and give you some removal instructions<\/strong>. This seems to be a variant of BrowseFox\/AltBrowse<\/strong> that I’ve previously blogged about. If FasterLight is installed on your machine, you will find a new add-on installed into Firefox<\/strong> and Internet Explorer<\/strong>. I’ll show how to remove Faster Light in this blog post with the FreeFixer<\/a> removal tool.<\/p>\n

\"Faster<\/a><\/p>\n

When I run into some new software I always upload it to VirusTotal<\/a> to see if the antivirus scanners there find something. The detection rate is 11\/55. AVG detects FasterLight as BrowseFox.F<\/strong>, Malwarebytes detects it as PUP.Optional.FasterLight.A<\/strong> and NANO-Antivirus reports Trojan.Win32.BPlug.dfohwl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"FasterLight<\/a><\/p>\n

So, how about the removal<\/strong>? All you need to do to remove Faster Light is to check the FasterLight files in the scan result and click the Fix button. A reboot of your computer may be required to complete the removal. Here’s a few screen captures from the removal that should help you:<\/p>\n

Hope that helped you with the removal.<\/p>\n
