Stream-It

Posted: July 13, 2016

Stream-It is a Web browser extension developed and published by VeriStaff. This is the company behind SideCubes, a Web search assistant that is classified as adware by all reputable anti-virus product vendors. The Stream-It browser extension isn't any different, and its installation may bring numerous advertisements to the user. The Stream-It extension is promoted as a great streaming tool that allows the user to listen to hundreds of free online radios directly from their Web browser. However, free radio streaming is just one of the 'features' that Stream-It implements and users may be disappointed to hear about some of the other operations that Stream-It carries out when it is installed. The Stream-It browser extension may change the Google Chrome's homepage, new tab page and default search engine to hxxp://stream-it.online automatically. This is a low-quality search engine that features a built-in radio player, search song feature, and a Web search field that redirects users to the Yahoo's search engine. Despite being safe, both the Web browser extension and the search engine may expose users to paid ads, sponsored links and other marketing content. This behavior should not be tolerated, and the Stream-It adware should be removed in a swift and efficient manner. The best way to remove adware like Stream-It is to use a reliable anti-malware application that can fully erase all traces of Stream-It.
