WebSpeed is presented on its official website as a tool that will help you test your connection speed through one of the 2,500 servers it has at its disposal. But first and foremost, WebSpeed is an advertising software (funny how that’s not mentioned on this website), but you can be sure that this was the real task in mind when they created WebSpeed. All these about speed testing is nothing but an excuse to fool antivirus software, by passing as a legitimate software.
Clearly WebSpeed is a real unwanted program being installed without clear warning to the user. We find it hidden in install programs made for freeware you can download on the net. On these install process it’s rarely warned that unless customized WebSpeed will be installed in your system.
Removing WebSpeed is no easy task because it was created to stay in place as long as possible. The longest it stays installed the bigger amount of ads is shown, meaning the most amount of money will be earned (by publicity commissions).
Be careful with many fake security blogs offering removal solutions to get rid of WebSpeed, these websites offer you some program you need to buy whose effectiveness is not that certain. WebSpeed is usually installed along with many other unwanted programs, so you must follow every step of the guide presented below. All software used is free.
