365Stream Search Extension

The 365Stream Search Extension offers to provide users with access to the most viral and entertaining videos on the Internet, as well as to give them daily video recommendations. While this might sound useful, remember that you can already access these features by simply visiting a popular video-streaming platform and checking the trending videos in the categories that are relevant to your interests. It is recommended to do that because the installation of dubious software like the 365Stream Search Extension may sometimes have unexpected consequences.

In the case of the 365Stream Search Extension, the consequences are not harmful, but some users are likely to end up being annoyed by the changes that this add-on brings. When 365Stream is installed, it demands to be authorized to modify the Google Chrome's search settings. The change it applies is simple – all searches executed through the address bar will be redirected through Feed.365-stream.com, which will then take the user to Yahoo Search.

The 365Stream Search Extension is listed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) so that your anti-virus software is likely to recommend its removal. However, this is not an unsafe program so that you are free to carry on using it if you find it helpful and are not bothered by the changes it has brought to your browser. However, if you are on the opposite side and the 365Stream Search Extension is not something you want to have on your computer, then you should make sure to remove it either manually or with the help of an up-to-date cybersecurity tool.
