What is Speed-Find?

Speed-Find is associated with speed-find.com website, which is a website that a browser hijacker sets as your home page and default search engine. Even if it may appear as a legitimate search engine, its’ behavior is considered harmful, because of the following reasons:

• It usually installs automatically without your consent and alters your browser’s settings so that speed-find.com would be set as your main page
• It may track your browsing habits (especially things that you search through speed-find.com website), and report to third party companies that use the data for advertising purposes
• It displays unwanted advertisements while you use your browser
• It does not completely remove itself from your system, even if you use its’ uninstaller app

Speed-Find hijacker can inject itself into Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer browsers. We highly recommend that you get rid of this virus because your privacy may be at risk, not to mention a possibility of getting additional malicious applications installed in the future.
