Youtube Accelerator is program not developed by Youtube but by the society Goobzo LTD. In fact, it’s a malicious program that promises to speed up video loading on youtube and on other sites that offer it. It also promises to speed up Itunes and all that by removing the buffering (in other words the pre-loading of videos in memory). Obviously, this is untrue and at last a rough scam in order to place a toolbar and advertising without restraint.
Therefore, Youtube Accelerator is an adware. Even if it has an official site, this is not the way it gets inside a computer. Youtube Accelerator comes in a bundle with other free programs, downloaded from the internet. If you want to avoid it, do not download programs from sites like Softonic, Zdnet &co…and always customize the installation of these programs just to make sure you don’t install unwanted programs at the same time.
