Threat Database Adware Fastlauncher.xyz

Fastlauncher.xyz

Fastlauncher.xyz is a dubious domain that delivers intrusive and deceptive advertisements to users. Typically, no one lands on such pages intentionally. Instead, users are taken there as a result of the activities of a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that has managed to sneak itself onto their computers or devices. 

The advertisements generated by Fastlauncher.xyz are designed to capture the attention and lure the user into clicking on them. Various tempting-sounding offers might be displayed. However, when users interact with the advertisement, they are taken to a completely different, predetermined Web page. The destination often features a fake survey that promises to distribute prizes to anyone who participates. Of course, there are no prizes and the survey itself is a thinly veiled phishing tactic that tries to obtain user details such as email addresses. The collected information can be used for the dissemination of spam emails or other intrusive materials subsequently.

The constant flood of advertisements associated with Fastlauncher.xyz could lead to a drastically diminished user experience on the affected device. The advertisements could start to cause browser slowdowns, freezes or even crashes. Users are strongly encouraged to remove any possible PUPs by running a scan with a professional anti-malware solution.
