StreamsMob

Posted: September 2, 2020

StreamsMob is a browser extension whose installation may seem like a great choice since it promises to provide you with access to free online streams for various shows, TV series, movies, sports events, and other exciting content. However, the real purpose of StreamsMob is entirely different – it focuses on bringing traffic to the websites Feed.streamsmob.com and Portal.streamsmob.com by setting them as your Web browser's default search engine and new tab page. While this behavior is not harmful, it may hinder your Web browsing sessions' quality since you will be forced to use an unreliable website that you are not used to.

The search results that StreamsMob's websites deliver may not always be reliable – it is possible that Streamsmob.com may prioritize sponsored search results containing unnecessary advertisements and expose you to irrelevant content.

StreamsMob is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and, as such, its removal can be handled with the assistance of a suitable PC Security product. Once StreamsMob is removed properly, any changes that it made to your Web browser should be reverted automatically.
