SpeedGuard

SpeedGuard

SpeedGuard is definitely not the perfect tool for testing your Internet speed, because it is not a tool at all; it is an adware-type browser extension that has been created for the purpose of displaying commercial content which we regard as unreliable. For this reason alone we recommend that you remove this application. However, the program also collects information about you that can be shared with third-parties. In the opinion of our security experts, this is a potential security threat. Therefore, this application requires a more detailed examination, which we will provide in this article. Read more »

OptiSpace

OptiSpace is a tremendously suspicious program that users usually know very little about. This is mostly due to the fact that this program is not presented in an official manner, meaning that it does not have an official website. Most sites representing software, even if it is unreliable, allow users to access EULA, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and similar agreements that help users learn more about them. Unfortunately, there are other ways to spread programs across the web, and more and more unreliable programs emerge without any information about them. Even though this should alarm computer users, many of them forget to research programs that offer extremely beneficial services. As our practice shows, this is one of the main reasons why so many computer users need to delete OptiSpace. Read more »
