365Stream

365Stream

According to its description, 365Stream is “the best way to browse.” However, in reality, it does not look like the application can offer any advanced tools that would make it better than Google or Yahoo search engines. It seems like the extension’s provided search tool uses a modified version of search.yahoo.co to gather results. Also, users ought to know that the application may require permission to read the user’s browsing history. Such behavior might be unwelcome by users who consider viewing their history a violation of their privacy. Consequently, the extension falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. If you come across it, we encourage you to learn more about it by reading the rest of this article.

AwayTab

AwayTab

AwayTab is a traveling application, or so it claims to be. According to the information presented on the official download website (awaytab.com) and the Chrome web store – where the installer can be found (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/awaytab/homnophpjlhlpaglnfpomcambjmgceem) – this extension can help Google Chrome users discover new travel destinations, beautiful images, and the cheapest flights. Obviously, if you are interested in saving money when planning your next trip, this extension might sound pretty useful. That being said, at the time of research, only 311 users were counted by the Chrome web store, and so it is unlikely that this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is spreading actively. It is possible that it will remain pretty unpopular, but it is also popular that it could see a surge of users. In any case, this PUP is not an extension we can ignore, and we are sure that many users will choose to remove AwayTab. Are you one of them? If you are, we can help you delete this add-on.

Travel Deals Center

Do you love to travel? Do you love to snatch good deals for your upcoming vacations? If you do, Travel Deals Center might seem like the perfect addition to your Google Chrome browser. This extension is supposed to provide you with useful travel-related information as well as introduce you to some amazing deals.

If you have already decided to delete Travel Deals Center, scroll down to the last section of the article. If you want to learn more about it before you can make a decision about what to do with it, keep reading. Read more »

Stream-me

Stream-me

Stream-me is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) targeted at Google Chrome users. The descriptions on the extension's official site might suggest that the tool allows streaming TV content, but, in reality, it works as a search engine. Therefore, users may have to find sites that stream their favorite shows themselves. However, while surfing the Internet with the PUP’s search tool, it could gather information like your visited websites or clicked ads to show you advertisements from various third-parties. We do not claim it would necessarily happen if you use the extension's search engine, but there seems to be such a possibility. Thus, if you do not want to risk seeing third-party ads, we advise choosing a more reputable search engine. Provided, you decide to erase Stream-me, we can offer our removal instructions available below the article. Read more »

Moreover, besides the mentioned deletion tool for messages, the extension might change a user’s new tab page. The add-on ought to switch a user’s new tab page with a search tool of its own that we talk about further in the article. If you want to know more about this application that is considered to be a potentially unwanted program, we invite you to read the rest of this article. In case you decide to remove Delete Facebook Messages, you may want to check the instructions available below too. Read more »
