StreamingTime

Posted: October 19, 2018

StreamingTime is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which might tempt users to install it because it might promise to provide them with access to entertaining online streaming content, which can be viewed for free. While this offer is attractive, you should know that the limited content, which the StreamingTime add-on provides is hosted on 3rd-party websites and services. This means that all the videos that the StreamingTime extension offers can be viewed without the installation of 3rd-party software, as long as you visit the primary source of the content.

Another reason why the installation of StreamingTime might not be the brightest idea is that this extension is known to bring potentially undesired changes to the configuration of modern Web browsers. The StreamingTime add-on may change the default new tab page of the Web browsers, therefore ensuring that the user will generate a steady amount of traffic for the Web page linked to this extension’s publisher – streaming-time.com.

This page delivers results via the Yahoo Search so that it is safe to say that it can provide its users with reliable search results. While this news is good, you also should remember that the StreamingTime New Tab is not associated with a reputable company, and the way it works may be subject to change at any time. It is strongly recommended to stick to using trustworthy websites and search engines since this is the best way to avoid ending up browsing potentially harmful or fraudulent content.

If the StreamingTime has changed the settings of your Web browser, then we advise you to take the required measures to revert these changes. The swiftest way to take care of this task is to use a suitable PC security tool to dispose of StreamingTime’s files.
