Posted: August 27, 2020

StreamBrosSearch is an unnecessary browser add-on that promises amazing features, but its true purpose is to bring traffic to a website affiliated with the extension's developer. The traffic is brought to the page by ensuring that all users of StreamBrosSearch will have their new tab page replaced by Portal.streambrossearch.com, and search aggregator by Feed.streambrossearch.com. This is not n unsafe change, but you should know that this page is not as reliable as renowned search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. Furthermore, the searches that StreamBrosSearch provides are likely to include more advertisements than usual, and they may often prioritize sponsored content.

StreamBrosSearch is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and you are unlikely to be bothered by it if you keep your computer protected by an up-to-date security tool. Suppose you did not use such software, and you are now experiencing the intrusive changes described above. In this instance, you should make sure to remove StreamBrosSearch with the assistance of a trustworthy security application.
