SpeedBit is a popular publisher of cool video streaming and data download acceleration products such as Download Accelerator Plus and Speedbit Video Accelerator. If you happened to install one of their many popular products, you would have probably installed their Speedbit Search toolbar too. Most of us prefer to use a certain search engine and find it unacceptable when another program ( such as the Babylon toolbar) hijacks our personal settings without permission. Unfortunately, this is starting to become the norm. And thankfully, there are fixes too! In this post, I’ll show you how to remove SpeedBit Search Toolbar from your browser settings.
