Remove Get-answers-fast.com (Uninstall Guide)

Get-answers-fast.com is a web search engine/browser hijacker that may return irrelevant search results and redirect users to sponsored websites having nothing to do with search inquiry. This website is not currently listed as dangerous (it won't infect your computer). It has not hosted malicious software over the past three months either. We added get-answers-fast.com to our database because it appears to be related to rootkits and Trojan horses responsible for click frauds and search redirects. We are fairly sure this is not a coincidence. In a common scenario, a rootkit or a trojan infects a computer and injects malicious code into Windows system files and processes. It may capture network traffic and send network packets to bypass Windows firewall.

Whenever you click on a link while searching with Google (or other web search engine) it would redirect you to either infected websites or such sponsored websites as get-answers-fast.com. Sometimes, it may display a blank page. Cyber criminals have to monetize their traffic. Redirecting search results to spammy website is a good way to do so. The redirects happen in all major web browsers. Re-installing your web browser won't help. System Restore won't help either, well it might help for a short period of time, but malware will be re-downloaded after a couple of hours. If you got this annoying get-answers-fast.com redirect problem, your computer is definitely infected by malicious software.
