TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar Removal Guide

TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program that works as a browser plug-in. This application comes forth as a useful tool that will try to make you think it is something you simply must have on your browser. However, computer security experts say that you should not keep this toolbar on your computer, especially if it was not your intention to have it. You can scroll down this description for the manual removal instructions, but please bear in mind that it might not be enough to protect your PC from harm. There could be more unwanted applications installed, so when you remove TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar, you have to get rid of them, too.

There are at least two main ways for this program to get installed on your system. First, it can be downloaded directly from free.testonlinespeed.com. This is the official homepage for the application, and since the direct download option is available we cannot really say that this toolbar is a malicious infection. In fact, you can also choose whether you want to install it or not, so our researchers are basically forced to categorize this applications as potentially unwanted program. It means that TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar possesses particular features that are not considered welcomed by security experts.

For instance, upon the installation, this program will change your browser’s settings. It will change the new tab settings, and it will force you to use its search engine. This is practically what all toolbars from the MindSpark family are known for. So in a way, this new application functions just like ButterflyField Toolar, TotalRecipeSearch Toolbar, MyScrapNook Toolbar, and many other browser plug-ins from the same group. They come forth offering some specific function, but they certainly hog a lot more than an application offering something small should. As a result, you need to wrestle a program that takes over your browser and exposes you to unfamiliar content.

Technically, TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar should help you monitor your Internet speed. For instance, if you are experiencing slow connection, the toolbar should help you measure the speed and then you could contact your Internet service provider for some explanation. What’s more, the application also provides you with various links to Internet speed tips as techwalla.com or wikihow.com. However, it is more than obvious that you can find such tips yourself if just by running a thorough web search, so it is highly doubtful whether the toolbar is useful in that aspect.

On top of that, we should consider the possibility that TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar arrived at your computer bundled with freeware. Perhaps you were aiming to install some other application, and you had no idea it might come bundled with such programs. So if your system has been operating slower than the usual, perhaps it is time to run a full PC scan with the SpyHunter free scanner. Not only will you be able to terminate TestOnlineSpeed Toolbar automatically, a full system scan will help you determine just how many unfamiliar apps are installed on your PC, and you will be able to get rid of them in no time.

Of course, it is also possible to delete this toolbar from your PC manually, but if you are not sure about your skills, you can always rely on a security tool. Also, do not hesitate to leave us a comment if need be.
