As a matter of fact, this software has exhibited some traits that make it questionable. For example, it is capable of showing third-party advertisements that might even be harmful to click on. It may also use a rather suspicious method to spread on the web that may expose you to even more malware infections. ...

Apart from showing some questionable traits, this PUP can also display third-party advertisements in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer through an extension it installs silently. We cannot say that DrSpeedyPC is a direct danger to your virtual security, but there are certain risks that you need to be aware of if this PUP is on your PC or you are planning to download it. ...
WinClock
Here is a useless application that you ought to remove. It is called WinClock and it is a clock. Yes, a clock. Ignoring the fact that every Microsoft OS has a built-in clock, this program’s developers thought it would be good idea to create gadget-like clock that looks similar to the one you can set on Windows 7 and Vista. WinClock falls into the category of potentially unwanted programs, because it does not work as it should and it can display third-party advertisements of unreliable nature. ...
