Computer users that are receiving the 'Download Faster and Safer' pop-ups may be housing an adware application or a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP). The 'Download Faster and Safer' pop-ups will appear on arbitrary Web pages and caused by an extension that could be attached to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
