The SpeedItUp software by MicroSmarts LLC is advertised to speed up your PC by freeing up space and cleaning temporary files, but security experts perceive SpeedItUp as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). The SpeedItUp app can be downloaded from its official website and is often encountered in freeware bundles as SpeedItUp Free and Speeditup-Checkup. Additionally, the SpeedItUp program is known to travel in the company of the CheckMeUp browser extension which is known to display pop-up windows by Consumer-feedback.net in the web browser. The interface of SpeedItUp does not offer much functionality, and it can employ a registry key to boot with Windows and delay the start of your OS. Computer users may want to seek alternatives of the SpeedItUp tool that are not bundled with adware and low-quality search assistants. Keep in mind that the publishers of SpeedItUp Free may update its 'Terms of Use' and their app to display advertisements in your web browser in order to support their product. Computer users that want to optimize and protect their PC can install a trusted anti-spyware application that can help them decide whether to keep the SpeedItUp tool or not and remove adware affecting their online activities.
