Does this sound like your story? You see pop-up ads from fastunitdatagood.in while browsing websites that usually don’t advertise in pop-up windows. The pop-ups manage to evade the built-in pop-up blockers in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera. Perhaps the fastunitdatagood.in pop-ups show up when clicking search results from Google? Or does the pop-ups show up even when you’re not browsing?

Here is a screenshot on the fastunitdatagood.in pop-up from my system:

If this description sounds like what you are seeing, you almost certainly have some adware installed on your computer that pops up the fastunitdatagood.in ads. Contacting the site owner would be a waste of time. The ads are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the fastunitdatagood.in removal in this blog post.

If you have been reading this blog already know this, but if you are new: Recently I dedicated some of my lab systems and intentionally installed some adware programs on them. Since then I’ve been monitoring the behaviour on these systems to see what kinds of advertisements that are displayed. I’m also looking on other interesting things such as if the adware auto-updates, or if it downloads and installs additional unwanted software on the machines. I first spotted the fastunitdatagood.in pop-up on one of these lab machines.

fastunitdatagood.in resolves to the 52.11.66.69 IP address. fastunitdatagood.in was registered on 2014-08-10. Natan Shragan, Israel,  appears in the WHOIS database for this domain.

So, how do you remove the fastunitdatagood.in pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the fastunitdatagood.in ads I had istartsurf, MedPlayerNewVersion and Movie Wizard installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the fastunitdatagood.in pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.

The fastunitdatagood.in domain is attracting quite a lot of traffic, just check out the Alexa traffic rank:

The problem with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be launched by many variants of adware, not just the adware on my system. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.

So, what can be done to solve the problem? To remove the fastunitdatagood.in pop-up ads you need to check your machine for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:

1. Check what programs you have installed in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something that you don’t remember installing or that was recently installed?
2. You can also examine the add-ons you installed in your browsers. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
3. If that didn’t help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your computer at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your computer. If you would like to get additional details about a file in FreeFixer’s scan result, you can just click the More Info link for that file and a web page with a VirusTotal report will open up, which can be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
