Posted: February 19, 2019

The Funky Stream is a Chrome extension that has been categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) due to the lack of useful features and the fact that its installation may bring unnecessary changes to the configuration of Google Chrome. The changes that Funky Stream is known to bring concerns the default search aggregator – the add-on may change it to Funkystream.com. While this change may not be an issue, it might have an adverse impact on the user’s ability to search the Web, as well as increase the number of advertisements they see whenever they initiate a search through their address bar.

If you like the features that the Funky Stream provides and do not mind the changes it brought to Chrome, then we assure you that you will not experience any problems if you opt to keep using this browser add-on. However, if you do not like having your search aggregator replaced by Funkystream.com, then the suggestion is that you take the necessary steps to ensure the removal of the Funky Stream add-on. Although this task can be accomplished manually, you may want to take care of it with the help of a suitable computer security utility since this can ensure the full removal of all of the Funky Stream’s files.
