AnyStationSearch

Posted: September 25, 2020

AnyStationSearch is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may often be promoted via misleading advertisements and promises or software bundles. The application is hosted on the official Google Chrome Store website, but this does not mean that it is a useful and verified utility certainly.

AnyStationSearch promises to grant users the ability to listen to their favorite radio stations online, as well as discover radios from around the world, but AnyStationSearch does not support such functionality. All that the add-on does is to replace the user's default new tab page and search engine with Portal.anystationsearch.com and Feed.anystationsearch.com. These websites host a simple search engine, as well as hotlinks to popular online radio streaming services. The latter services can be accessed without using AnyStationSearch at all.

While the behavior of the AnyStationSearch PUP is not threatening, it is intrusive and pesky certainly. We advise users to get rid of AnyStationSearch with the help of an up-to-date security tool. Once AnyStationSearch is removed, all changes that it brought to your system should be reverted automatically.
