The Free Live Radio New Tab Search software is a service of Eightpoint Technologies Ltd., and it is promoted as a way for users to find entertaining radio stations and listen to new music pieces as they come out. The Free Live Radio New Tab Search program functions as a browser extension, which you can find at Search.hfreeliveradio.co and Query.hfreeliveradio.co. The Free Live Radio New Tab Search extension is an ad-supported product, which is programmed to modify your new tab page and primary search provider. When you add the Free Live Radio New Tab Search extension to Google Chrome it may change your default search service provider to Search.hfreeliveradio.co and your homepage to Query.hfreeliveradio.co. The Free Live Radio New Tab Search app is very similar in functionality to the HD Radio Player add-on by Polarity Technologies Ltd. and the GoGoGo Radio software.

The tab and search powered by Free Live Radio include links to third-party services by Iheart.com, Soundcloud, Pandora and Spotify. The Free Live Radio New Tab may offer quick access to popular social media services like YouTube, Instagram and Twitter, as well as email providers like Gmail. You should note that Eightpoint Technologies Ltd. is not recognized as a trusted partner of Google, Pandora, Spotify and any of the services presented to you on the Free Live Radio New Tab. That does not mean the Free Live Radio New Tab Search extension is unsafe, but you should expect browser redirects to promotional content before you load the sites presented on Search.hfreeliveradio.co and Query.hfreeliveradio.co. The Free Live Radio New Tab Search app is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is reported to arrive on computers via free software bundles and redirect users to Search.hfreeliveradio.co and Query.hfreeliveradio.co, which lack support for proper encryption. Both sites may appear as search aggregators, but they are not. Search.hfreeliveradio.co and Query.hfreeliveradio.co are redirect-gateways to Search.yahoo.com. The Free Live Radio may use tracking cookies, Web beacons, and monitors what links you open on the Internet. The collected data may be transmitted to the servers of advertisers, and you are shown targeted ads whenever you load Search.yahoo.com. PC users that wish to protect their privacy online may not appreciate the way Free Live Radio works and want to remove it.
