Unless you remove the target, why would you expect it to go away? Fast
was a file indexing background program included with old versions of MS
Office. I forget at which version they discontinued it but, as I
recall, it was only needed on 9x-based Windows since a file indexing
service was already in NT-based Windows (which I don't bother with and
have disabled to eliminate it wasting my CPU cycles).
