StreamAllSearch

Posted: June 10, 2020

StreamAllSearch is a misleading browser add-on that may promise you access to great features, but, in reality, the only noticeable change it brings will be an annoying one. To complete the installation of StreamAllSearch, users may be prompted to enable this extension to tamper with their browser's settings and, more specifically, with the default search engine and new tab page. StreamAllSearch wants to change these to Portal.streamall-search.com and Feed.streamall-search.com.

While these two changes are not unsafe, they are unlikely to change your Web browsing experience for the better – instead, they may make your sessions more difficult to enjoy since you will end up using an unknown website that is not considered to be reliable and feature-rich.

The websites that StreamAllSearch promotes work with Yahoo Search to deliver results, and you may end up being redirected through other sites before you land upon the Yahoo Search results page. Furthermore, StreamAllSearch's redirects may expose you to some undesired advertisements that you would not see if your default search engine and new tab were set to a reputable service like Bing, Google or Yahoo.

StreamAllSearch is marked as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by multiple PC security product vendors, and it is best to avoid installing it on your computer. If this PUP is already up and running on your computer, then you should consider removing it.
