Remove SpeedyTabs

SpeedyTabs, or SpeedyTabs Search, is a misleading browser add-on that may show up in your Web browser without your approval. Often, users have this happen to them because they interact with shady downloads, software bundles or other misleading content. The good news is that SpeedyTabs is not an unsafe application. In fact, it is perfectly safe to use. It claims to be able to enhance the speed at which Web browser tabs open, close, and work. While this might sound amazing, you will not notice anything different in terms of performance after you install SpeedyTabs.

The real purpose of this add-on is to lie to the users, and then work in the background to manipulate their browser settings. The changes it introduces aim to promote a new tab page and search engine. These redirects are not harmful, but they will take users to Speedytabs.com. This is a low-quality search engine that may deliver poor results.

SpeedyTabs is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). As we already mentioned, there is nothing to worry about if you encounter such applications – they are not unsafe. In the case of SpeedyTabs, this application might prevent you from manipulating browser settings unless you remove it first. The correct way to eliminate Potentially Unwanted Programs is to use an up-to-date security tool for Windows. This is the best way to ensure that you will not be troubled by leftover files.
