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.

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 »
