Thus, you might imagine that the extension provides access to advanced search tools. However, our researchers say that the application’s search tool might redirect users to Yahoo, a popular search engine that can be used by anyone without having to install any third-party software. Also, users ought to know that this extension was classified as a potentially unwanted program. If you want to learn more about the application’s working manner, we advise reading the rest of this article. Users who wish to learn how to erase StreaminSearchs, can follow the deletion instructions placed at the end of this text. You can also leave us a message in the comments area below if you have any questions about this potentially unwanted program.
Where does StreaminSearchs come from?
StreaminSearchs is currently available on a website called portal.streaminsearchs.com and on the Chrome Web Store page. Also, it is possible that it might be distributed through advertisements and file-sharing web pages just like other potentially unwanted programs. Therefore, if you do not want to come across such tools, we advise being cautious with applications offered on file-sharing websites and ads. Before clicking the download button always make sure that the tool comes from reputable creators and that it has positive expert and user reviews. In other words, you should search for information that is not in the tool’s description. We also recommend keeping a reliable antimalware tool that could help you identify doubtful tools and keep your system safe and clean.
How does StreaminSearchs work?
As said earlier, the application’s description might promise a powerful search tool. However, users who install the tool might get a search engine that redirects to search.yahoo.com instead of displaying search results itself. Our researcher at Anti-spyware-101.com say that the potentially unwanted program might be using a modified version of Yahoo, which means it might be able to inject the Yahoo’s gathered search results with content of its own, for example, third-party ads.
Moreover, users who decide to install StreaminSearchs should know that the application might view their browsing history. By doing so the extension could learn what websites you like to visit, what you search for on the Internet, and so on. Such data could help decide what you may like and create tailored ads based on it. It is vital to understand that if the extension shows any ads, they might come from multiple third parties, which means there might be no guarantees that the ads will be trustworthy. This is why we advise you to stay alert if you decide to keep this application on your browser. If you decide that you do not want it, we recommend deleting StreaminSearchs or not installing it.
