NetSpeed is an adware application. This potentially unwanted program is malicious and intrusive, not to mention, harmful. It slithers its way into your computer through slyness and subtlety and then wreaks havoc. Once it latches on, there’s nothing subtle about it. Issues start popping up almost instantaneously. The first problem you’ll encounter, courtesy of this hazardous infection, is the never-ending stream of pop-up ads it will flood you with incessantly. Each and every time you try to go online, you’ll be interrupted by an entire array of ads. Not only will they infuriate you to no end, but they’ll also cause further damages. Due to their continuous appearance, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will frequently crash. Furthermore, as the ads are immensely unreliable, by not doing anything to stop them from popping up, you risk unwillingly agreeing to install more malevolent tools. That’s right. A single click on a single ads leads to you giving your consent for the installation of more malware. But even that pales in comparison to the fact that NetSpeed places your personal and financial information in grave jeopardy. The program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private details and hand them to wicked strangers with agendas. The question is, are you going to allow that?

How did I get infected with?

NetSpeed is quite resourceful and masterful when it comes to fooling you into granting it access to your system. In fact, the tool is so skilled in the arts of deceit that it not only dupes you into giving it the green light, but also manages to keep you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, the program sneaks in undetected by hiding behind freeware as it provides possibly the easiest way in. That’s because, for some reason, users believe that if they rushed through the installation, and not paid attention, everything will turn out okay. They skip reading the terms and conditions, agree to everything, and hope for the best. Well, that’s a horrible mistake that results in horrendous repercussions. But by the time these users realize the error of their ways, the damage is already done. Don’t give into naivety, haste, and distraction and maybe you won’t end up unwillingly installing such a hazardous infection. Remember to be more careful and to not rush, and maybe you’ll avoid dealing with NetSpeed. Other preferred means of infiltration, the program often turns to include the use of spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. Also, the tool can pretend to be a bogus system or program update, like Adobe Flash Player or Java.

Why are these ads dangerous?

NetSpeed is an ad-supported tool, which is why it floods you with so many pop-ups. The application is required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people behind it if it is to continue its existence. It has to trick you into clicking on as many of its unreliable pop-ups as it possibly can as each ad you’re foolish enough to click on produces profits for these individuals. If it fails to do so, it ceases to exist. That’s why it does everything in its power to increase its chances of success. That includes spying on you in order to get to know you better, so it can accurately select the appropriate ads to throw your way. Ads, which will appeal to your preferences, spark your interest, and result in a click, i.e. cash. The program monitors your browsing habits until it gets to know what you like and dislike. Ten the bombardment commences. Whatever you do, do NOT click on these pop-ups! They’re highly unreliable, and only lead to more unwanted malware installs. Unfortunately, NetSpeed doesn’t stop at only observing you. It catalogs every move you make until it determines it has collected enough data from you. Then it sends it to the third parties that published it, who can use it as they see fit. Are you willing to trust strangers with your personal and financial information? Think long and hard before you decide.
