How does TV Stream Now New Tab work?

It appears to be mysearch.com, with which TV Stream Now New Tab could replace your search engine or start page might display third-party advertising content for which its creators do not take any responsibility. For this reason, we believe users could come across untrustworthy third-party advertising content while surfing the Internet with it. There are no reassurances that any ads, which might be displayed with the search results will be reviewed or come only from reliable sources. To give you a couple of examples, there is a chance the third-party advertisements could redirect to websites designed to steal your private information, infect the system with malware, spread other threats similar to the browser hijacker, etc.

Another reason why we do not trust TV Stream Now New Tab or its search engine is because the software might be allowed to download updates or even entirely new versions “without prior notification.” It means the application does not have to ask your permission to update itself or add new tools to your browser. Since the software falls under the classification of browser hijackers, it cannot be considered to be reliable, and so there are no guarantees the updates or new versions it might install will be trustworthy either. In fact, the tool’s unreliability is acknowledged by their developers themselves as they claim they do not warrant the search engine’s “ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY.” You can find such statements in mysearch.com End User License Agreement document. The same document seems to be applied for the extension too as its description on Chrome Web Store page provides links only to the search engine’s Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement statements.
