What is Click.fasttrack.mobi?

Click.fasttrack.mobi is part of an advertising service that website publishers use to generate revenue on their sites. Unfortunately, there are some malicious programs that are injecting these Click.fasttrack.mobi ads on websites you visit without the permission of the publisher in order to generate revenue.
When Click.fasttrack.mobi redirects a browser to an advertisement, the ads are typically for unwanted browser extensions, surveys, adult sites, online web games, fake software updates, and unwanted programs.

Why am I seeing the Click.fasttrack.mobi pop-up ads?

You are seeing the Click.fasttrack.mobi pop-up ads because you are either infected with adware or another web site is redirecting you to them.

This guide was written to help Windows users remove malware from their devices, so if you’re just looking for a way to block the Click.fasttrack.mobi redirect on a specific site, then you can use a free browser extension like Adblock.

When it comes to adware, these malicious programs are bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet. Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed adware without your knowledge. Once an adware program is installed on your device, whenever you will browse the Internet, the Click.fasttrack.mobi site will redirect your browser to unwanted advertisements.

Here are a few typical signs that you have adware on your system:

Advertisements appear in places they shouldn’t be.
Your web browser’s homepage has mysteriously changed without your permission.
Web pages that you typically visit are not displaying properly.
Website links redirect to sites different from what you expected.
Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
Other unwanted programs might get installed without your knowledge.

You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs. Be very careful what you agree to install.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.

To check your computer for adware and remove it for free, please use the guide below.

To scan your computer with Malwarebytes, click on the “Scan” button. Malwarebytes will automatically update the antivirus database and start scanning your computer for malware.

STEP 3: Use HitmanPro to scan for malware and unwanted programs

HitmanPro is a second opinion scanner that takes a unique cloud-based approach to malware scanning. HitmanPro scans the behavior of active files and also files in locations where malware normally resides for suspicious activity. If it finds a suspicious file that’s not already known, HitmanPro sends it to their clouds to be scanned by two of the best antivirus engines today, which are Bitdefender and Kaspersky.

Although HitmanPro is shareware and costs $24.95 for 1 year on 1 PC, there is actually no limit in scanning. The limitation only kicks in when there is a need to remove or quarantine detected malware by HitmanPro on your system and by then, you can activate the one time 30-days trial to enable the cleanup.

AdwCleaner is a free popular on-demand scanner which can detect and remove malware that even the most well-known anti-virus and anti-malware applications fail to find.
While the Malwarebytes and HitmanPro scans are more than enough, we’re recommending AdwCleaner to users who still have malware related issues or just want to make sure their computer is 100% clean.
