How to remove NetSpeed App (Virus Removal Guide)
NetSpeed App
NetSpeed App (also searched for as NetSpeed App virus, NetSpeed virus) is a potentially unwanted program that many people have complained about finding installed on their computers without their consent. Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs alike have begun to define NetSpeed App in two different detection categories, including adware. NetSpeed App is known to access a computer system, collect user browsing data, and generate ‘targeted’style pop-up ads.
What is NetSpeed App?
NetSpeed App is promoted as a free tool that can help you measure your internet speed, including your download, upload, and overall internet speed.
Potential NetSpeed App malware generates deceptive and intrusive pop-up ads across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Ads by NetSpeed App are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because they use your personal browsing information (including all your data on the websites you visit) to produce advertisements it feels you are most likely to click on. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off your current and past browsing habits.
NetSpeed App adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove NetSpeed App if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.
How did NetSpeed App get on my computer?
NetSpeed App and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. NetSpeed App is often bundled inside third-party software downloaders and bundlers. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that NetSpeed App adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
