Search.seemoviesonline.stream

Posted: January 22, 2018

Search.seemoviesonline.stream is yet another shady Google Chrome extension that would attempt to trick you into installing it. The authors or the company behind this dubious software aren't mentioned anywhere, which in and of is, itself, a red flag. This extension has a site dedicated to it that's called Seemoviesonline.stream. The Search.seemoviesonline.stream extension is propagated via online ads that link to the website related to it. Once the users have landed on the Search.seemoviesonline.stream website, they'd see some text claiming that the service would provide search results that would cater to their everyday needs. It puts an emphasis on the fact that the search results the user will get will be localized. While the extension says that this is a special feature, and it may seem so to the less experienced users, the truth is that every reputable search engine (e.g., Google, Yahoo or Bing) already uses the same technique to provide more accurate results. Below that text, there is a blue button, which links the user to the Chrome Web Store.

Once the computer user has clicked on the link and has entered the Chrome Web Store, the creators of Search.seemoviesonline.stream try to sweet talk the user into clicking 'ADD TO CHROME.' The authors of Search.seemoviesonline.stream stress the fact that their service is free and it would give you access to 'unlimited' articles, movies and music. Furthermore, it claims to protect the users' privacy by not allowing search engines to collect data from their searches.

Despite the fact that Search.seemoviesonline.stream isn't a harmful extension, it does apply some questionable changes to the browser's settings. Thus, it's recommended that you remove Search.seemoviesonline.stream either manually or with a suitable PC security scanner.
