Search-streamly.com

Posted: November 11, 2020

Search-streamly.com is a low-quality search engine that seems to be promoted by a browser add-on called 'Search Streamly.' The latter piece of software works with popular browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It is being promoted as a useful utility that helps users find streaming content online. However, users who opt to install 'Search Streamly' are likely to experience something entirely different.

This add-on's original purpose is to bring more traffic to Search-streamly.com, and it achieves this by configuring the Web browser to use Search-streamly.com as the default new tab page and search engine. This harmless change can turn out to be rather annoying since you cannot expect this site to work as reliably as Google, Bing or Yahoo.

The 'Search Streamly' extension is marked as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by anti-virus products, and its removal is recommended strongly. If your Web browser starts redirecting you to Search-streamly.com randomly, then you should run a suitable security scanner to identify and remove the Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) responsible for this behavior.
