Internet Speed Tracker is a potentially unwanted program that infiltrates its victim’s computers either when they download free software from download platforms like softonic, install plug-ins posing as Java or Flash, or when downloading fake software updates. You must always remember to customize any install process you download from the net because the so called “recommended” option will be most likely filled with unwanted programs. Another thing to avoid at all costs is to click on pop-ups allegedly warning you about some update one of your programs need, it’s quite impossible for your browser to gather information about the status of any software installed on Windows.
Back on subject, Internet Speed Tracker is an adware that supposedly will inform you about the current speed on your internet connection, this is nothing but a lame excuse to be able to broadcast a huge amount of ads in every website you visit. You’ll easily identify ads coming from this adware as they are tagged as Ad by Internet Speed Tracker or Ads by Speed Checker. You can see them in all sorts of forms, either as banners, pop-ups or keywords among the text of any website you visit.
This adware will slow down your computer and (ironically) your connection speed, this is due to the constant requests it makes to show all its ads. Internet Speed Tracker can also be considered a confidentiality threat because it has access to everything you do online.
For all these reasons you must remove it as soon as possible. We will show you how for free!
