Fastcaptcharesolve.com Advertising Spam - How to remove

Fastcaptcharesolve.com is a fake captcha website that abuses web push notifications to deliver unwanted ads. It shows ads for scams and junkware. It disguises them as social media notifications and system alerts to make people more likely to click on them.

Even though Fastcaptcharesolve.com is just an ad spamming site, the content that it promotes could cause real problems.

What is Fastcaptcharesolve.com?

Fastcaptcharesolve.com is a website. It can infect web browsers and make them display pop-up ads. Some of the ads are for slightly unsafe sites. Because of all that, Fastcaptcharesolve.com could be considered to be malicious.

Fastcaptcharesolve.com’s browser settings hijacking

Fastcaptcharesolve.com spreads online via pop-up ads. I saw it when I visited a typosquatting page, but it can also be advertised by file download sites, websites infected with malicious redirects, and any site that shows aggressive pop-ups.

When someone sees Fastcaptcharesolve.com, they usually are greeted with a message like this:

Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!

As if Fastcaptcharesolve.com is some kind of a captcha site. Most of us are used to seeing captchas from time to time, some that just ask us to click on a button, while others require completing an image recognition task.

Fastcaptcharesolve.com is no captcha, but it wants people to think that it is. Deceptive messages are used by lots of malicious websites, including Check-you-robot.online, Ro06.biz, Captchatopsource.com, Push.machineflame.online, and others.

The goal is to get people to click the “Allow” button on the “Fastcaptcharesolve.com wants to Show notifications” prompt. That would “allow” Fastcaptcharesolve.com to send notifications to the browser – which it uses to show ads.

Pop-up ads lead to dangerous content

Fastcaptcharesolve.com uses notifications to force browsers to display its messages. On mobile, they appear at the top. On desktop, they show up in the lower right corner.

Ads from Fastcaptcharesolve.com are not the same ads you see on reputable websites. They tend to be of a lower quality:

• Fake giveaways (cash, phones, other valuables). These ads lead to subscription scams, phishing scams, or payday loan sites.
• Fake virus detections and update alerts. These ads promote tech support scams, junk programs, and fleeceware apps.
• Celebrity get-rich-quick ads, diet ads, and other dubious success stories. The articles describing them are always fake and often hosted on spoofed websites. (Beware this ‘celebrity’ bitcoin scam)

Even worse, some of Fastcaptcharesolve.com’s ads are designed to look like legitimate notifications – DMs on various sites, chat notifications, system notifications, missed emails, etc. Their goal is to trick you into trusting them and clicking on them.

Check your device for malware

If you downloaded any apps, programs, or browser add-ons because of Fastcaptcharesolve.com’s ads (they might have looked like update alerts, virus alerts, and other serious messages), it’s recommended to check your device with an anti-malware app, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others.

And if you accidentally got a fleeceware app or another scam, check your payments and cancel any unnecessary subscriptions. (Hundreds of fleeceware apps earn dubious iOS, Android developers over $400 million.)

Having Fastcaptcharesolve.com hijack your notifications is basically like getting email spam sent straight to your screen. Clicking that “Allow” button on Fastcaptcharesolve.com, then, was like giving the site your email address.

Well, not quite. You can’t take back your email address once it’s out there, but you can stop all unwanted websites from sending you any more notifications. It’s actually surprisingly simple!

How to disable Fastcaptcharesolve.com pop-ups

Block unwanted notifications

Each browser has a settings page where you can manage notification permissions.

One way to open them is by going to site settings:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Another way is to wait until Fastcaptcharesolve.com or another site’s notification appears. Depending on your OS and browser, there might be a little “Site settings” button or a little gear icon on the notification. You can click it and block notifications from the site that sent the message.

It’s better to go to the settings page, though. Fastcaptcharesolve.com might not be the only site whose notifications need to be blocked. It’s really easy to accidentally allow them, especially on mobile, so don’t be surprised if you see that you’ve subscribed to sites that you don’t even recognize.

For each site, you can choose the option to Allow (to send you notifications), Block, or Remove (make your browser forget the site and let it ask you again). For Fastcaptcharesolve.com, I recommend choosing “Block”. You should only allow notifications from websites that you actually want to receive messages from.

Consider blocking all notification prompts. It’ll save you from sites like Fastcaptcharesolve.com and you’ll still be able to manually add sites to your “Allow” list in notification settings.
