What is HD Streaming Movies?

HD Streaming Movies’s developers want you to believe that it provides you with legitimate and useful service. However, the truth is that it is a scam program, and we recommend that you remove it from your computer as soon as the opportunity arises. Our malware researchers have tested and classified it as a potentially unwanted program. In short, this program is not malicious, but it is used to promote a paid yet fictitious movie streaming platform. Therefore, this program’s owners are scammers, and you should not trust their software. test

Where does HD Streaming Movies come from?

Unlike many potentially unwanted programs that feature information about the companies that developed them, HD Streaming Movies does not have this information as it is under lock and key. This is very suspicious and gives rise to doubts about this program’s legitimacy. So since there is not information about its origins, we are not going to dwell on that and move on to how this application is currently being disseminated.

Our malware researchers have received unconfirmed information that this application is being bundled with malicious installers that in addition to this program may also contain adware, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. This program might come in InstallRex, Amonetize, Vittalia or InstallCore installers since they are the most popular ones for PUPs, adware, and so on. You should be able to remove this and other unwanted programs from the installation process by opting for advanced settings and unchecking this application’s respective checkbox. It seems that HD Streaming Movies should come bundled with other shady software exclusively and the bundles it comes with are being promoted using adware-type software. Therefore, we can rule out the possibility of it being distributed on freeware sharing sites.

How does HD Streaming Movies work?

Testing has shown that this application only has one file which is an executable and this executable file, when launched, renders a web browser-type window that loads promoted websites. Our researchers say that previously this application was configured to promote websites, such as Flixjunky.com, Megaflix.net, and Filmzhub.com. It appears as if these sites are not related, but that is not the case. Filmzhub.com is allegedly owned by Top Media Corp Ltd, Megaflix.net is owned by World Media Ltd, and Flixjunky.com is owned by Media Reel Ltd. So all of them seem to be owned by different companies, but the truth is that those companies are fake, and the websites mentioned above are owned by the same entity. Furthermore, HD Streaming Movies is also owned by the same secretive entity.

The reason for the secrecy is simple: this program’s owners have established a fictitious movie streaming service which is paid. So if they manage to trick someone into purchasing this non-existent service, then they commit fraud. So it is not in the interest of HD Streaming Movies’s developers to be public about who they are because they would have to bear responsibility for their actions. Therefore, we highly recommend that you delete this application from your PC as soon as possible.
