SearchandStreamTV is a potentially unwanted program that is incapable of providing you with any beneficial services. This PUP does exactly what any regular web browser would do in a sense that it finds the movies/TV shows you are interested in and provides sources that you can watch them on.

Although this program might seem fun and useful, it is unlikely that it was created to help you out. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers believe that the objectives of this extension are to introduce you to sponsored search results and collect data that could be used to approach you with more attractive offers, even if these offers are provided by a different program. If you are not convinced that you should remove SearchandStreamTV from your operating system, please continue reading. Read more »

While Muzik Trak might seem like a program that could benefit you, you must know that there are some dubious features that it exhibits. A research team working at our internal labs has carried out an in-depth analysis of this tool and came up to a conclusion that it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP for short). Such classification was mostly made due to a rather invasive functionality of this application and questionable ways of distribution that its developers employ.
