The fastest way is to use the Dust and Scratches filter in Photoshop.
But I reckon the most effective way is to use the Cloning Tool, also
in Photoshop. I view the image at 100% and go over the whole thing
systematically, by eye, with the Cloning Tool selected. I use the
size of Tool that suits the dust and hairs that I find and merely
clone the areas with the similar colour. I have to keep selecting a
new area to ensure that edges between 2 colours do not get blurred.
It takes me about 5 minutes for a 50Mb file.
I use Tab to eliminate all but the image on the screen and enlarge
the viewing area to the maximum.
I do use the Dust and Scratches filter on large areas of blank colour
- black or white, but I worry about the softening effect on edges.

Chris,
What's the fastest way to fix dust? Do you use Photoshop Elements?
Thanks!
