Resolved Speedtestanalysis.crx

Hi all,

I found "SPEEDTESTANALYSIS.CRX" in my C:\Mozilla folder. I did a Google and it's either a trojan or part of Google Chrome. Also, in the Mozilla folder I found "speedtestanalysis@SpeedAnalysis.com "

I searched thoroughly throughout all my drives and registry and I only found the one instance of the file. However, in the registry I found about 6 instances of speedtestanalysis@SpeedAnalysis.com in the FireFox Extensions folder

I do regular AV and Malware scans and it's never shown.

So, what is it and should I delete it from the registry?

 

Thanks for moving it for me. I clicked the wrong forum.

 

Hi jpChris, have a look at this link: Should I remove Speedtestanalysis@SpeedAnalysis.com.

There is an un-install program you can use or just through Windows Add/Remove Programs. If you don't want it - Remove it. Neil

 

Hi Neil,

I saw that, and I also saw that it was a trojan, too. That's why I was asking which it was. Is there any way to tell?

 

If you have never had your internet speed tested, submit the file to Virscan.Org and have it scanned by multiple AV scanning engines.
If you have checked your internet speed, then it isn't a trojan.

 

Hi Mark,

I haven't checked my speed this year. However, this thing showed up on the 14th of March. I think that's when SeaMonkey updated me to 2.16.2.

I'll go check it out and see if it was part of the update.

Thanks for the info. I Revo'ed it and it's no longer on my system.

 

I would run Malwarebytes to check and if it isn't a problem - your choice to leave/remove.
As markp62 has suggested the alternate scan is your other option. Neil.

 

Hi Neil,

I've MBAM, SuperAntiSpyware, SpyBot S&D, Avast, and an on-line scanner: Nothing was found. So, I Revo'ed it anyway.
