Do you want to share your personal information with strange, unpredictable parties? Well, that is exactly what you will enable if you keep Search.myclassifiedsxp.com. Search.myspeedtestxp.com is another browser hijacker that is capable of the same thing, and you need to remove it, along with the My Speed Test XP extension, as soon as possible. Both of these hijackers provide Yahoo search results, which is the main reason why computer users do not actually delete them right away. It was found that Search.myclassifiedsxp.com redirects to modified Yahoo search results using the extsearch.maxwebsearch.com server. As you might know, modified results might be used to trick you into clicking on unreliable links and expose you to promotional content. Unfortunately, there are many security risks associated with sponsored search results, which is why you should delete Search.myclassifiedsxp.com ASAP.
