Where does WinSpeeder come from?
We could indicate winspeeder.info as the main distribution source because it is the main homepage. However, just like any other application from the semi-random adware family, WinSpeeder does not have a direct download link. Winspeeder.info only provides you with generic information on the program. It says that apart from helping you with online shopping, WinSpeeder can also speed up your browser by “monitoring and disabling programs which slow it down and allow you a better browsing experience.”
Since the direct download option is out the window, we have to assume that WinSpeeder gets distributed just like RightCoupon, TicTacCoupon, SaveNShop, and many other applications from the same group. In other words, this program travels bundled with freeware. Judging from the distribution networks of other similar programs, WinSpeeder may also be distributed via InstallRex installer. Users may not be aware of the fact that they download and install this application on their computers, but it happens quite often when they download software from unreliable third-party file sharing websites.
What does WinSpeeder do?
WinSpeeder functions like a browser extension, which means that it adds plug-ins to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer web browsers. The program might say that it wants to speed up your web browser, but the reality is that with this extension on board, your browser is very likely to slow down.
That is so because WinSpeeder tracks your web browsing history, and then it generates a lot of annoying pop-up ads that disrupt your browsing experience. It is important not to click WinSpeeder ads because some of them might contain links to dangerous websites. Adware programs do not check the reliability of the outgoing links in their ads. Hence, if you got infected with malware via WinSpeeder ads, you would have no one but yourself to blame.
How to remove WinSpeeder?
This adware program is not a malicious infection, so it is not hard to remove it. You simply have to uninstall WinSpeeder via Control Panel, and then remove the extensions from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. As for the other potential threats, you should get yourself a powerful antispyware tool and terminate unwanted programs automatically.
