Where does Stream+ come from?
The extension seems to be compatible only with Google Chrome. Users of this browser can find it in the Chrome Web Store page. Besides this source, it is possible that Stream+ might be spread via pop-up ads and similar channels that are often used by distributors of similar potentially unwanted programs. Therefore, in order not to receive such software, we advise keeping away from advertisements that promote extensions or other tools from unknown developers. Also, it would be wise to stay away from file-sharing web pages because they may contain installers of potentially unwanted programs or even malicious applications. The safest way to get the installers you might need is to download them from legitimate sites only. Also, we recommend having a legitimate antimalware tool installed on your system. Do not forget to use it to scan files whenever you download data from untrustworthy sources or receive it from unknown senders.
How does Stream+ work?
Naturally, based on the application’s name, some users may assume that it is supposed to allow streaming movies, TV series, or content alike. According to Stream+ description, which can be found on Chrome Web Store, the application “inserts our Sponsored Search results into Google Search in 24 markets.” It means the plugin may add advertising content from various third parties that Google search does not promote.
Since the tool’s developers do not say what their injected ads might promote exactly, where such promotions might come from, and take no responsibility for it, it is possible that some of the material might be unreliable. Consequently, we recommend being cautious with all ads that come from untrustworthy or unknown sources. However, the advertisements that Stream+ might show could be very tempting as they might be picked based on your search quarries, browsing history, and other information that this potentially unwanted program might gather. If you decide you do not want to see more advertisements in your search results, you could erase Stream+.
