Remove TV Stream Now Virus

About this infection

TV Stream Now is browser extension, classified as a browser hijacker due to its questionable behavior. It’s advertised as an extension that supposedly allows you to stream TV, which some might find to be useful. However, hijackers often offer seemingly useful services so that users install them or do not get rid of them.

It’s possible that it appeared on your computer without you installing it, and if you have no recollection of ever allowing it to set up, it must have traveled via freeware bundles. If that is the case, you need to be more careful about how you install programs, as you did not pay attention and missed the extension being attached. It’s not a malicious infection so no need to worry about it harming your computer. Technically, it shouldn’t be referred to as a virus either but because many users are annoyed at its behavior, they tend to call it that. It will try to encourage you to use its provided search engine, which we recommend being careful about. It may try to redirect you to sponsored websites, some of which could turn out to be malicious. We recommend you delete TV Stream Now Virus as it could bring about trouble.

How does it spread?

You could have obtained it willingly or unknowingly. It’s a legitimate extension so you may have downloaded it from some official website or browser store, but it’s also possible it was attached to freeware as an extra offer. Users are notoriously not careful about how they install programs, which leads to a lot of them obtaining infections, however minor they may be. When you install anything, you need to pay attention to the process. Read the information provided and make sure to always use Advanced (Custom) settings. If anything has been attached to the program, those settings will show you, and you will be allowed to deselect them. Default (Quick or Basic) will not show you the offers and if you continue in those settings, the offers will install. Whichever way you installed it, we don’t recommend keeping it.

Why remove TV Stream Now Virus?

When the hijacker installs, whether it happens with your explicit permission or not, your browser’s settings will be changed. It can affect all leading browsers you have installed, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, so it may not matter which browser you are using. Those changes may be irreversible unless you get rid of the hijacker because it will just keep reversing everything you change. mysearch.com will become your new homepage, and it will offer you links to stream TV, shortcuts to certain websites (Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, etc.), as well as a search engine. We don’t recommend using the search engine because, as is usual for hijackers, it could be inserting sponsored content into the results in order to redirect you. Website owners employ hijackers to generate more traffic, which makes them more revenue. In a lot of cases, those sponsored sites will have little to do with what you were searching for so there is no use in visiting them. In some cases, they could even be malicious. If you were to get redirected to an infected website, you might end up with malware, and that could have serious consequences. There is nothing that this extension offers you that you can’t get anywhere else, so why risk it.

TV Stream Now Virus removal
