Where does MusicStreamSearch come from?
At the moment of writing, MusicStreamSearch is available on its website called get.musicstreamsearch.com and the Chrome Web Store page. We believe that the application could also be distributed through unreliable file-sharing websites, pop-ups, or ads like other potentially unwanted programs. Therefore, if you are looking for a way to stay away from such software, we recommend keeping away from tools that are promoted on untrustworthy sites or suspicious pop-ups and ads. Also, it is always a good idea to research programs before installing them to be sure that they are safe and reliable. Another thing that we highly recommend is to get a legitimate antimalware tool that could help you keep your system clean and, of course, malware-free.
How does MusicStreamSearch work?
MusicStreamSearch might change your default search engine with a search website called portal.musicstreamsearch.com. As mentioned earlier, this website might show modified search results as it could be using a modified version of search.yahoo.com to gather and display the results. Modified results could have third-party ads injected to them. If the extension displays any ads, it is possible that such content could be targeted. That is because the potentially unwanted program may require permission to view your browsing history. Such a permission would allow the application to view what kind of websites you visit, what you search for on the Internet, what ads you click, and so on. Usually, such data helps companies to determine users’ interests and show targeted ads to them. Keep in mind that ads from a potentially unwanted program could promote similar applications and might not be reliable. Thus, we advise being cautious if you start seeing any questionable ads after installing this extension.
