This article is a short, yet detailed resume of the characteristics and effects of Fastplayz “Virus”. Generally, this program falls into the browser hijacker software category. Provided that this common name is not familiar to you, it means that this piece of software is normally classified as a typical hijacker program which is mainly able to do the things in the following list:

• Get into your system in quite a confusing and tricky way. Despite that, such a piece may only influence your browsers, even the most common ones such as Firefox, Explorer, Opera and Chrome;
• The manner in which such a hijacker might affect your browser apps is by modifying them in several ways. They might start generating an unusually big number of unwanted pop-ups each time you try to load a web page. The usual homepages/search engines could get replaced by new, unfamiliar ones. While you are browsing, some strange redirecting processes could take place.

In short, these are the traits of any browser hijacker. For more elaborate ones, please, continue reading the passages below.

Is Fastplayz “Virus” indeed able to ‘hijack’ your PC?

Even though this program may cause some annoying redirecting, and some even more bothersome banner and pop-up ad campaigns, it is considered harmless and has been designed for conducting some successful advertising campaigns of different goods, apps, programs and/or web pages. In fact, its developers may earn huge profits from the people who need to promote a product (or a service) online, and need such software to help them. Moreover, no hijacker could EVER access anything on your device, apart from the browsers and their history records. No other components of your system are available to such programs and, therefore, these programs can’t damage your PC in any way.

Could browser hijackers at times act in a rather suspicious way?

As we have already explained to you in the text above, no damage or hazardous activities may ever happen because of the presence of a browser hijacker on your computer. Nonetheless, some of the ways in which it functions might be seen as somehow suspicious. For instance, in case Fastplayz “Virus” gets access to your browser apps history, it could base its new promotion campaigns and redirection processes on the data about your most current searches and supposed interests. This is neither illegal, nor is it dangerous. Nonetheless, some users could indeed regard it as more intrusive than they can tolerate. Furthermore, most hijackers might be spread in quite a tricky way. Of course, none of the affected users will ever agree to the implementation of the installation of such an irritating program. As a result, the hijacker-makers need to be full of ideas and creativity for spreading their annoying programs in a legitimate way. This means of transporting software is all about tricking the victim user into unknowingly allowing such a hijacker to get installed.

Typically, such a manner of fooling people into installing software such as Fastplayz “Virus” might be successfully conducted by mixing hijackers with new unpopular games/apps, and in the process assembling the so-called program bundles. Later on, such a software bundle is made accessible for all users online for free, which leads to many of them downloading such a mix. However, in the general case, downloading a bundle does not really mean infecting any device with a browser hijacker. In spite of that, choosing the wrong installation feature may lead to contamination. The installer wizard methods which tend to end with infections are: the “Default”; “Automatic”; “Easy” or the „Recommended” ones. All of them must always be ignored to ensure that no ad-broadcasting program gets installed on your computer together with the other, generally useful, software versions. What’s most important- make sure that you select one of the appropriate wizard options: the CUSTOM or the ADVANCED. In such a way you will be able to control the whole installation process and manually select what enters your PC and what stays outside.

What makes us positive that Fastplayz “Virus” is not a form of malicious program?

We can for sure say that you are not dealing with a virus, since most malware forms show some distinctive hazardous traits. To be more precise, you are currently dealing with a program, which is often seen as potentially unwanted, but substantially differs from the popular virus versions (such as Trojans and Ransomware mainly). Any Trojan or Ransomware version is normally able to install itself on your computer and then access your system. Bearing even these small details in mind, it can be logically concluded that Fastplayz “Virus” in no way resembles any known virus, as it doesn’t self-install and doesn’t get access to your entire computer.
