Suddenly Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com is quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Behind this eccentric name lies a nasty brower hijacker that could easily demolish your entire Internet experience. Now, first things first, do you know how hijackers work? No? Then you could be fairly certain that Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com’s presence on your computer system will teach you a valuable lesson about the this type of malware and its sneaky ways. Being a classic representative of the hijacker family, this parasite has nothing original to offer you so at least its trickery isn’t unexpected. Having said that, the virus is very efficient simply because most PC users make the rookie mistake to underestimate the enormous threat it brings upon them. This way, pretending to be harmless, Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com tries to spend as much time as possible on your device so it could cause you as much damage as possible. Remember, you’re dealing with a virus. It was never supposed to be beneficial for you regardless of what hackers try to make you believe. Remember, Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com is nothing but a malicious PC infection developed to generate web traffic and to constantly harass you in the meanwtime. Even thought this thing is widely advertised as a decent search engine, it goes without saying that it isn’t. After the parasite succeeds in landing on your once virus-free machine, it replaces your default search engine and browser homepage with its highly questionable domain. What does that mean? It means since the moment your computer has been compromised, Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com is practically everywhere on your PC screen and your opinion on the sudden browser settings modifications cannot change anything. Hijackers in general are quite resourceful so if you want to put an end to the shenanigans this virus constantly bombards you with, you know what’s the right thing to do. Get rid of the parasite and make sure you do so fast. However, Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com not only redirects you and generates potentially dangerous web links instead of the accurate search results that it initially promised, but also poses a direct (and quite serious) threat to your privacy. Did you know that this parasite spies on you? It does. The hijacker sneakily steals personal data thus allowing hackers to sell it later on and gain more money at your expense. If you don’t necessarily insist on becoming a sponsor to crooks and get involved in their nasty monetizing systems, keep on reading.
How did I get infected with?
The most plausible scenario is that Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com was bundled with freeware/shareware and you downloaded it off of the Internet without paying much attention. However, you should know that freeware bundles are not only a convenient way for you to install numerous programs at once; it is also an extremely stealthy distribution method for all types of malware imaginable. Hijackers are indeed an unpleasant thing to have on board but there are much more virulent infections out there that you most certainly do NOT want installed. Is it enough to mention Trojans and ransomware? It should be. Our advice for you is to opt for the Advanced or Custom option instead of the Basic one to remain in control of the programs that get installed. Also, reading the EULA (End User License Agreement) or the Terms and Conditions is always a good idea because if you blindly accept some devious term and condition that you strongly disagree with, you have no one to blame but yourself. Also, avoid clicking spam email-attachments or spam messages because more often than not, they are corrupted as well.
Why is this dangerous?
Well, this is a PC virus that we’re talking about. It is dangerous by default. Right after successful installation, Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com will start messing with your browser settings as well as your nerves because all of its manipulations happen completely behind your back. Being compatible with three of the most commonly used browsers out there (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer), the virus adds a malicious extension to all three of them so it could effectively disrupt your entire Internet experience. And it does. Thanks to the add-on and the numerous sneaky techniques this redirect parasite applies, you will be forced to use its unreliable search engine every time you browse the Web. The problem is, you will stumble across sponsored web links, potentially corrupted advertisements, malicious pop-ups, bogus software updates, etc. so as you can see, you might end up with many more infections on board. Remember, the only way to regain control over your browsing experience is to delete the hijacker and it is in your best interest to do so quickly. Apart from the harmful web links Search.easyspeedtestaccess.com generates, it also steals IP address, email addresses, browsing history, search queries, usernames and passwords like nobody’s business. It goes without saying that no PC user could feel safe knowing that they are exposed to various financial scams and identity theft while surfing the Web. There is nothing to gain by tolerating the hijacker so it’s highly recommended that you uninstall it. To do so manually, please follow the detailed removal guide you will find down below.
