Access TV Streaming probably sounds like a beneficial extension. One that could help you stream TV. Of course, if it offered free streaming for popular channels, it would be offering illegal services. Instead, it simply provides a list of links to third-party websites that offer paid streaming services, such as Hulu, Netflix, Roku, ESPN, CNN, YouTube, Xfinity, etc. Do you need a tool that could provide you with a list like that? Even if you think that you do, wouldn’t it be better to just bookmark the streaming services you use and have them accessible via the Bookmarks bar on your Google Chrome browser? Some might think that the extension offers convenience, but it offers much more than that, and not all is good. Our team at Anti-Spyware-101.com recommends removing Access TV Streaming, and if you understand the reasons for that, you might want to scroll down to the last section to learn about your options when deleting the unwanted extension. If you are missing some information, keep reading. Read more »

If you think that BestPDFSearch can help you find PDF converters, you have been tricked into believing in the wrong thing. The word “search” in the name is more important because, in fact, this extension simply presents a search tool. That is exactly how SportsHDSearchs, ConverterzSearch, AllConvertersSearch, and other extensions work as well. All of them look the same, and it is possible that the same party is responsible for all of them. If the creator focused on one extension, they could create something beneficial and attractive. However, copies of the same kind of a tool keep being produced, and so quantity is more important than quality. There is no doubt about that. Needless to say, you should not waste your time on low-quality products, and so we advise deleting BestPDFSearch. The instructions we have prepared will help you remove the PUP (potentially unwanted program) from Google Chrome manually, but before you dig into these instructions, read the report. Read more »

Templates for cards, invitations, documents, forms, or certificates can be useful, which is why Templates Discovery Tab might seem like an attractive tool. This extension promises to give access to various templates, but our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not identify it as a useful tool. Instead, we identify it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This is the conclusion that has been made after thoroughly inspecting the extension in an internal lab and finding out that it has many other functions, not just offering templates. In fact, it does not even produce templates of its own. Instead, it presents links to third-party websites, where templates can be found. So, in our eyes, the extension is neither useful nor trustworthy, and removing it seems like the only logical move. Are you ready to delete Templates Discovery Tab, or do you need more information about this PUP? In either way, you should keep reading. Read more »

When you come across an extension named SportsHDSearchs, you are likely to assume that it can help you access high quality sports content or, perhaps, even live streams. Whatever your thoughts about this extension might have been before you installed it, it is unlikely that you ended up being happy with it. This extension is nothing more than a search tool, and an unreliable one at that. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team tested this add-on, although there really was no need for that. That is because we already have all of the information about this extension. We have this information because it is a clone of ConverterzSearch, AllConvertersSearch, TopStreamsSearch, and other well-researched PUPs.

If you are looking for tools that could help you convert files, know that AllConvertersSearch is not one of them. It is just a search tool, and even though it might seem that it would help find converters specifically, it does not offer anything more than a regular search provider would. In fact, it uses a quote-unquote regular search provider. It is Yahoo Search, and if you decide to use the suspicious extension, it will redirect you search.yahoo.com. You might think that this is not so bad, considering that Yahoo Search is a trusted search engine. Well, because the PUP (potentially unwanted program) modifies the results that are shown via it, we cannot recommend trusting it. If you delete AllConvertersSearch and then set Yahoo Search as your default search provider, we are sure that you will be safe, but if you use it via the PUP, you might not be. So, do you want to remove the PUP quickly, or are you still looking for more information about it? We can help you in both cases. Read more »

You do not need extensions to access online forms, but the creator of Access Online Forms has decided to convince Google Chrome users into thinking otherwise. At the time of research, this extension offered easy-access links to findmyforms.com and eforms.com for its users, and while you might find them to be useful, you certainly do not need an extension to access them. Does it offer other beneficial services? That is unlikely to be the case. In fact, this PUP (potentially unwanted program) collects data about users, redirects to a third-party search engine, and injects ads into search results to promote third-party content. This is, most likely, what the extension was creator for. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not think that it is useful, and that is why we recommend removing it. Do you know how to delete Access Online Forms from your browser? Continue reading, and you will find out. Read more »
