SearchRadioStation

Posted: September 30, 2020

SearchRadioStation is a troublemaking browser add-on, which users might be convinced to install because of its promises to give them the ability to discover radio stations from all over the world and listen to them for free. However, SearchRadioStation's installation is meant to do something different entirely – the add-on will force your Web browser to use the new tab page Portal.searchradiostation.com, and the search engine Feed.searchradiostation.com. While there is nothing unsafe about these changes, they are clearly intrusive and unwanted.

If your Web browser redirects you randomly to the two Web pages listed above, then the presence of the SearchRadioStation Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) is the most likely cause for this. To resolve this issue and restore your browser to normal, you should use an up-to-date computer security tool to eradicate SearchRadioStation's components.

Avoiding future encounters with PUPs like SearchRadioStation can be done by using computer security software, as well as checking the permissions that new browser add-ons demand – if any of them ask to replace your new tab or search engine, then you should be careful with it.
