Remove SpeedTestMe
SpeedTestMe is a fake browser extension, which users might be offered to install while looking for sites to help them test their Internet connection. These testing services usually allow you to test your speed and latency by connecting to servers all around the world. However, you should keep in mind that most of these services are free to use, and they do not ask you to install 3rd-party add-ons in order to use them. SpeedTestMe is not a trustworthy extension – installing it might cause problems such as seeing extra ads.
SpeedTestMe's installation may happen if you fall for fake ads and promises, or if you interact low-quality software downloads and bundles. According to SpeedTestMe's installer, it wants to gain permission to read and change data on websites you visit. This might not sound like much, but the truth is that it enables SpeedTestMe to modify the contents of any website you visit. As you can probably guess, the add-on does not use these permissions to make your Web browsing experience more enjoyable.
The goal of SpeedTestMe is to modify sites in order to inject its own paid advertisements. Basically, it behaves just like adware, and may have an adverse impact on your Web browsing experience. If you find SpeedTestMe on your device, we advise you to handle its removal with the use of an up-to-date security scanner.
