What is Istreamer?
Would you ever install a program that did nothing for you? Istreamer is that kind of a program, but you might have downloaded it thinking that it will assist you in one way or another. At first, this ad-supported program might even appear to be beneficial, but, in the end, all users realize that this piece of software is completely useless. The shopping deals, discounts, and other useful-looking offers are most likely to be used as instruments for boosting traffic and routing you to sites that you would not normally visit. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that this ad-supported program could even be used for the presentation of unreliable pop-ups and banner offers. Would you risk your virtual security for the supposed benefits? We hope that you would not, which leads us to the removal of Istreamer.

How does Istreamer work?
Once installed onto your computer, Istreamer immediately contacts adware servers to start the injection of ads (e.g., “Sponsored by Istreamer”). We have found that istreamer.exe is the process that is responsible for this communication, but terminating this process will not solve your issues. Of course, most users do not know anything about this process or how the ads show up. Many users believe that the ads are directly associated with the sites they show up on, but that is not always the case. In fact, DoReMe, NavRight, PrintOnKey, and all other infamous ad-supported programs can inject ads into any site that you visit via Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately, the suspicious process is not the only tool that is used to show ads. Tracking cookies play an important role as well, as they collect information about your browsing activity to help the developers of adware and the advertisers that work with them to show the most interesting and appealing offers.
Since Istreamer does not have a user interface, users can identify the activity of this ad-supported program only if they encounter the ads associated with it. This can be difficult if this adware is installed by accident and users do not even know it exists. Unfortunately, users are still not careful enough when it comes to the installation of unreliable computer programs. Are you sure that this ad-supported program is the only unreliable piece of software on your PC? This is unlikely, considering that it usually comes bundled with other unpredictable and potentially dangerous programs.
How to delete Istreamer
You do not need to be a professional to remove Istreamer from your operating system. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about computer programs that could have been installed along with this adware, simple because we do not know which programs they are. If you scan your PC and find threats, you can research them using our database (enter the name of the threat into the search box on the right). When it comes to the removal of unreliable programs, especially if there are several different programs, it is wise to install software that was designed to catch and remove malware and to keep it away in the future. Bear in mind that the guide below cannot solve all of your virtual security issues.
