What is 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. If you decide to erase 365Stream, you can learn how to get rid of this potentially unwanted program by following the instructions available below, or you could employ a legitimate antimalware tool.
Where does 365Stream come from?
Currently, 365Stream is available on the Chrome Web Store page, and the tool’s homepage called 365-stream.com. Also, like other similar potentially unwanted programs, the extension could be spread through bundled software installers, redirects, and so on. To avoid bundled installers carrying potentially unwanted programs, adware, browser hijackers, and questionable tools alike, we recommend staying away from unreliable file-sharing websites and suspicious advertisements. Also, before installing any program, it is essential to check if it comes from reliable creators or whether it has any negative expert or user reviews. Plus, we recommend keeping a legitimate antimalware tool that could alert you if you ever come across potentially dangerous content.
How does 365Stream work?
According to its description, 365Stream is an extension that changes Google Chrome’s default search engine with a tool that allows you to “get easy access to search, images, videos and news.” To our knowledge, the application only works on Google Chrome, so users of other browsers should not encounter it. What’s more, upon its installation, it may require for a couple of permissions. One of them is to change the user’s default search engine. As said earlier, what you may get could be a modified Yahoo search engine. It might be different from the original search.yahoo.com in a way that the modified version’s displayed results could contain injected third-party advertisements. Our researchers say, it might be best to be careful with such material, as it might come from unknown sources.
The other permission the potentially unwanted program may ask for could be to read user’s browsing history. Allow it to do so could result in enabling the tool to view your visited websites, search history, and so on. If you consider such content private and you do not want it to be seen by 365Stream developers, you could get rid of this potentially unwanted program. Instead of it, we recommend acquiring a reputable search tool.
