Many similar potentially unwanted programs get to be distributed through the mentioned platform, although some of them get removed after some time.

How does RadioSearches work?

It would seem it might do so by changing your default search engine with a search website known as portal.radio-searches.com. Our researchers say that it might redirect to one of the major search engines like Yahoo.
Nonetheless, users should be aware that the extension’s search website might be redirected to a modified Yahoo search engine. Thus, the results displayed by it could differ from the ones you would receive while using the original Yahoo search engine. For instance, they could contain ads from unknown third parties. Also, if you encounter any ads from the potentially unwanted program or its third-party partners, it is possible that they could be targeted. That is because the application may ask you to let it view your browsing history. It would help the tool understand what kind of websites you like, what ads you click, and other information that could help create tailored advertising content. Of course, we do not say that RadioSearches will necessarily show tailored ads. However, there is such a possibility.
