Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
Manual ways of removal that you can perform to delete Installfaster from browsers are not dangerous and not so hard as you might think. Possibly, only automatic way of removal is easier. This removal way is very efficacious since the browser vendors bother about your right to install or uninstall any browser add-ons. The removal technique will give you a chance to delete all the unwanted browser add-ons and ads will not annoy you any more. But occasionally, using this technique users notice that the PUP returns to the browser and they have to find any other methods to remove it.
Also there is another manual removal instruction following which you should remove files, folders and registry entries. The technique is not harmful in case if you will perform it gingerly or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be done. To make this process more secure you should do the backup of the registry. Do not forget that only the itemized elements of the software should be enumerated and no other ones differently the computer will not work. If you do not realize what registry value is and where it can be placed, then you are welcome to perform automatic way of removal in order not to harm your PC.
Automatic technique is the method when a user downloads any removal program to solve the issue. This way out refers to the most safe and powerful. It is also not complicated one. You should just download the antivirus program that has Installfaster in its signatures. The described technique is more useful because you will have the antispyware and antimalware scanner that will defend the PC from the future possible computer infections.

But not all of them are equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these uninstall techniques I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ below. Speaking about the paid ways of virus removal, I should enumerate the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.
These methods are the most effective. In spite of the great inequality in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the problem and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these removal ways are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also mention that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
