Hi,For some unknown reason this ''search by SPEEDbit.com''has got into my laptop running windows 7.I have ran malwarebytes Superantispyware with no luck.Look in google chrome settings and google shows as default.Dont even show up in add & remove programs nor revo uninstaller.Also tried options in IE it just wont go away what a pain in the rear.

Any help Please Please.
Thanks.

Run your malware and spyware software in safe mode.

Yea thanks for that.I did try malwarebytes with no results and ran superantispyware and found 4 nasties in safe mode but the ''search by SPEEDbit.com'' still coming up when I open google chrome.

Look here and try to keep your temper:

SpeedBit Video Downloader - CNET Download.com

I'd try a System Restore.

Tried that to.No joy

My be worth downloading a decent search program, such as search everything, do a search on speed, and just delete whatever pertains to this.
Then run CCleaner using the registry option followed by the normal Cleaner option.
Just a thought?

Thanks Tried that to.No joy

Have you done a registry search (regedit) for anything related to speedbit or its developer?

 

[flogit]

How would I go about doing that please?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Type regedit into the start button search box.

Open regedit.

Export the registry to a safe place as a safety measure, from the file menu.

Go to the edit/find menu.

Enter your search term and let it find the entry.

Decide if you have the nerve to delete what you find.

I assume speedbit does NOT appear in your list of installed programs?

Did the reg search,Nil came up.
I'm running spybot to see what that brings up.I'll be back.
many thanks.

You could even try just searching Google?????????

Have you downloaded any video or download accelerators? A quick google search shows they offer download accelerators and also a SPEEDbit.com Search (powered by BOSS). I'm not going to click on that link!

Search your computer and registry for the term BOSS.

Wow! willythecat you are fast! Looks like I should have looked closer at google!

 

[flogit]

Did a search found emboss only.
And yes I did
downloaded any video or download accelerators.What a mistake it was recommended on another forum

Thanks.

Have you tried the link willythecat posted.

Do a google search for "uninstall speedbit.com search". Lots of people with your same problem.

take a look at Windows Admin Blog: Remove speedbit search from IE and Firefox

Did you ever git rid of that search engine? If not go just to the left of Google and tick on the little multi colored puppy foot. Go down to Manage Search Engines and tick on it. Then remove what ever search engine you want to. That thing you got should be listed there.

Yea thanks for that info,I have done that no luck.Been digging through it last night its got itself into google chrome settings somehow.
