What is Home.radiostreambutler.com?
It is important to use reliable search tools at all times. Home.radiostreambutler.com is not considered to be reliable, and so using it is not recommended. While it is unlikely that this browser hijacker corrupted your web browser without your notice, it is most likely that you do not know much about it, and you did not even research it before letting it in. Is that correct? If it is, there are quite a few things you need to learn about this infection. For one, did you know that it can record information about you? Personally identifiable information is not off limits for this hijacker as well. This might be one of the biggest motives to delete Home.radiostreambutler.com from your browser. At this moment, the hijacker is only compatible with the Google Chrome browser, but there’s always a possibility that other browsers could be affected. In case you need help from our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers removing the hijacker from different browser, you can always use the comments section for further communication.
How does Home.radiostreambutler.com work?
Home.radiostreambutler.com is unlikely to be spread on its own. Instead, you are likely to install it along with Radio Stream Butler, an extension that is meant to help you “watch sports.” The add-on’s installer is at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/radio-stream-butler/hnppabjnlnodiphmldfijjkdcdaeieoo, but the official website representing it is http://www.radiostreambutler.com/. The extension is represented as Home.radiostreambutler.com, and so the extension itself can be classified as a hijacker. The interface of this hijacker is pretty simple. You are introduced to a RADIO button at the top, and the search dialog box is displayed in the middle. The RADIO button expands a menu with different genres, including Country, Pop, or Hip Hop. You are routed to a specific today.radiostreambutler.com page depending on which category you choose. This page offers a search engine that might or might not help you find the content you are looking for. Basically, the add-on is no better than any regular search tool. Speaking of search tools, Home.radiostreambutler.com offers an unreliable one. One that redirects to a third-party search engine without your permission, and that is one of the reasons to remove it ASAP.
As you already know, Home.radiostreambutler.com collects information about its users. This can help the creator of this hijacker earn money. When it redirects your search queries to Google Search, it can inject sponsored content depending on the information you have looked up previously, or the websites you have visited recently. Due to this, even though you are redirected to the reputable Google Search, removing the hijacker is a good idea. In the worst case scenario, you could be introduced to a malicious link routing to unreliable sites or representing scams and malware installers. Needless to say, trusting a browser hijacker like this one is not a good idea, which is why we strongly recommend getting rid of it without further delay. Keep in mind that the hijacker is linked to the add-on, and you cannot erase one or the other. If you decide to go through with the removal, you will have to eliminate both parts.
