Hi guys. I wanted to check my Internet speed, so decided that YourSpeedTestNow will be a great app for this. However, after that I have found search.yourspeedtestnow.com homepage and search engine within Chrome. I DID NOT ask for that, so I assume that this software is malware. Please help me to remove it because that’s not that simple as I thought. Thanks in advance!

YourSpeedTestNow is not a reliable software. Although it is offered to people via reliable download sources, it is really questionable tool that is sponsored by third parties. As our security experts have found, this tool is related to browser hijacker. As we have already indicated in this post, YourSpeedTestNow can install on computers bundled with freewares and then replace web browser's settings (search engine, start page, new tab window). Consequently, you may start receiving altered search results filled with sponsored links and advertisements.
Therefore, to protect your PC from unwanted apps, redirects, and similar issues, remove YourSpeedTestNow virus along with its search. The easiest way to do that is to run a full system scan with FortectIntego. Nevertheless, the same can be done manually using the guide that is indicated in the article about YourSpeedTestNow PUP (the link is given above).
Good luck,
