However, you can find tons of apps like this on the Internet, and the problem with particularly EasySpeedCheck is that it has some downsides. If you will use this application regularly, your computer will be infected with an adware.

EasySpeedCheck is a Windows application that can be downloaded from their official website at http://www.easyspeedcheck.com. However, we do not recommend to do that, because if you do so, an adware will be added to all your web browsers at the exact same moment when you install this application. It is able to operate on all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. As this adware comes to computers without users agreement, you can be not even aware that such an adware was installed on your PC. However, you should notice it very soon. All those ads by EasySpeedCheck adware comes with a slogan “ads by EasySpeedCheck”. So if you have noticed that those ads appears on your web browser, your computer is definitely infected with this adware. Those ads can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-ups, pop-unders, in-text or banner ads. A new tab on your web browser can be opened as well. We do not recommend you to click on any of those ads, because this can put you in to some real danger. EasySpeedCheck can be related to some third parties that are not always very reliable. They do not check ads that they are displaying and that gives the opportunity to various cyber criminals, like hackers and scammers to reach you right on your web browser. So if you click on one of those ads, you will be immediately redirected to third parties website that may infect your computer, or if you try to purchase something on such a website, you can get scammed or lose your private information. Speaking of information, EasySpeedCheck will collect some of your personal info. Data such as browsing history, search queries, IP and email address or top visited sites are being gathered in order to adjust those ads according to collected data. This makes them look more relevant and attractive to you based on your web browsing habits, so the chances that you will click on one of those ads are rising. And that’s the main goal of this adware – to make you click on those ads. Because they get paid for every click you make. That’s why they are trying to build as big as possible audience. Even though it is not a dangerous virus, you should remove it from your computer, because it can lead you to some threats, that may result in much bigger problems.
