Many people call FixSpeedy Optimizer virus and some call it Trojan horse due to the fact that its manufacture is based in India and that there seems to be no way to uninstall FixSpeedy Optimizer.

This could keep the associated service and processes busy not to quickly deal with the loophole or bug that can be taken advantage by virus for penetration. With endless popups coming out, accidental click is more likely to be made, which could end up with direct vicious attack.
Usually the installation of FixSpeedy Optimizer is not what PC users ask. By drive-by download, the PUA manages to settle down in system disk and inject its data file into data base, which gives it the chance to hide its trace from being easily removed by conventional means like removing programs in “Programs and Features”. It is always highly recommended not to put any items with commercial ends into C drive or the system disk since such item could bring up more scenes that may harm the system and trigger disorder, including:
