Fastsolvecaptcha.com Ads
The Fastsolvecaptcha.com site and ads it displays are part of shady advertising networks. Since such networks tend to use the services of various potentially unwanted programs, it is very likely that one of these programs has managed to affect your browser or PC.
Hence, the appearance of this site may be related to the presence of an adware or an unwanted browser extension added to the affected browser. The spread of undesired programs including adware, browser hijackers, and bogus browser extensions happens via software bundles, freeware installers, corrupted websites, and even browser redirects like Fastsolvecaptcha.com. That’s why you might have missed the moment such a nasty app landed on your device.
Protection tip: When you decide to install a new program on your PC/Mac, read carefully all details that are listed in its installer. The Advanced/Custom option is the one that you should select, whenever it is available. There you are more likely to find hidden details about some potentially undesired programs added to the installer and eventually prevent them from affecting your browser and PC.
