Remove DownSpeedTest

DownSpeedTest is an adware, this term is a contraction of two words, advertising and software. What this means of course is that programs qualified as such (DownSpeedTest included) are focused and developed to broadcast as much publicity as possible. These programs tend to be unwanted and distribute their ads as unexpected and non-stoppable pop-ups.

DownSpeedTest can be found tagging along free software in bundle installations. If your system is not protected with an able antivirus, DownSpeedTest can infiltrate your computer without you even noticing it.

DownSpeedTest can also be distributed from the following sources:

• Secret/repackaged install processes for legitimate programs
• Fake updates or tools (PDF reades, video players, etc…)
• Ads coming from malicious advertising companies
• Installations of other malicious tools
• Legitimate software being quietly/secretly exploited

DownSpeedTest infection symptoms are often the same, for all users being currently affected:

• Ads opening up on their own accord and for no valid reason
• New toolbars being added to your browser without your consent
• Adding of unwanted new favorites
• Redirection towards unknown and completely unfamiliar websites
• User unable to remove programs he/she has never installed by choice

Below you’ll find a free and simple guide that will help you remove DownSpeedTest once and for all.
