What is TestSpeeder?

TestSpeeder (Test Speeder) is the title of adware and a potentially unwanted program that affects multiple internet browsers. Potential TestSpeeder malware and associated programs will collect user internet browser data, share the collected user data with third-parties, and will use the collected user data to generate ‘relevant’ and targeted advertisements to the user.

TestSpeeder is promoted as a free download used to check internet upload and download speeds, as well as monitor the speeds of your internet service provider. However, these programs are primarily utilized to promote sponsored products and display irrelevant and misleading advertisements.

If TestSpeeder is installed a computer and internet user may experience unwanted redirects to suspicious websites, including websites that claim to scan for and test internet speeds. Once the test is complete on the redirected website, the webpage will provide non-beneficial Windows Optimizer programs to the user.

Furthermore, if TestSpeeder is installed additional unwanted programs, including malware, may have bundled with this item. To remove TestSpeeder and stop unwanted symptoms from occurring it may be necessary to remove third-party programs and browser attachments.
