Mynetspeed.co

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The MyNetSpeed.co extension promoted on Mynetspeed.co is said to help users check their Internet speed and keep up with how their Internet Service provider performs. The MyNetSpeed.co extension is supposed to support Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, which are widely used by Web surfers. The MyNetSpeed.co extension may make several changes to the user's default Internet client, which include changing the homepage to Mynetspeed.co/homepage/homepage.html?id=11192 and modifying the new tab page to include widgets named 'Speed Test by Ookla' and 'Fast.com powered by Netflix.'

The page on Mynetspeed.co/homepage/homepage.html?id=11192 features a clock based on your approximate location, which is determined by reading your IP address. Your new homepage offers access to Fast.com and Speedtest.net where you are provided with information like your current upload and download speed. We should note that Fast.com and Speedtest.net do not partner with Mynetspeed.co and the MyNetSpeed.co extension does not deliver services on its own except for links to those pages. However, the page at Mynetspeed.co/homepage/homepage.html?id=11192 is equipped with a custom version of Search.yahoo.com, which is designed to record the keywords you input on Mynetspeed.co and generate tailor suited ads. The MyNetSpeed.co extension is recognized as a browser hijacker that might redirect you to untrusted pages. Mynetspeed.co is registered to the 104.24.126.103 IP address, which is related to phishing domains, and you may want to avoid installing the MyNetSpeed.co extension. Security experts recommend removing unwanted software and potential threats by using a credible anti-spyware tool.
