Soundrad.net

Posted: June 21, 2017

Soundrad.net is an online portal, which offers users the ability to search for their favorite songs, albums, artists and radio stations. According to the website’s Terms and Conditions, none of the content they stream is hosted on their servers so that they can’t be held liable for copyright violations or similar issues. However, we are talking about Soundrad.net, not because of the content they promote, but because some users might start seeing their website whenever they load a new tab. This change may happen automatically, and it is likely that a browser hijacker is being used to set the default new tab page of popular Web browsers to Soundrad.net automatically.

Apart from the search feature for audio content, Soundrad.net also offers a traditional search field, which performs a regular Web search. It is not known whether the Soundrad.net developers use a pre-made search algorithm or if they have crafted one themselves. However, the search results that Soundrad.net displays seem very similar to the ones used by Google so that it is possible that Soundrad.net’s search field might be nothing different than a custom Google search field.

If your Web browser sends you to Soundrad.net constantly and you do not wish this to continue happening, then you must take the necessary actions to identify and eliminate the browser hijacker that brought Soundrad.net to your browser. Usually, hijackers are installed as browser extensions so that using your extension manager to check for suspicious entries might help to find the intruder. However, if this does not work out, then you can always rely on a reputable anti-malware application to take care of the task for you.
